PREFACE. 


THE week before Easter has been called by 
several names, from the great mysteries and 
various ceremonies celebrated and performed 
init. The Greeks and Latins anciently called 
it the Great Week, the Holy Week; sometimes 
the Painful Week—that is, the Week of Aus- 
terities; also, the Week of Sorrows, the days 
of the Cross or of sufferings. “We call it the 
Great Week,” says S. Chrysostom, on Ps. 145, 
“not that it consists of a greater number of 
days, or that the days in it are longer; but 
on account of the great things which God has 
wrought in it; for on these days was the 
tyranny of the devil overthrown, death dis- 
armed, sin and its curse taken away, heaven 
opened and made accessible, and men made 
fellows with the angels.” 

The chief object of the Church in this 

9 


IO Preface. 


week is to celebrate the memory of the pas- 
sion and death of her Redeemer. Every part 
of the sacred liturgy is directed to this end ; 
the Church's offices, more solemn and more 
multiplied in this week than in any other dur. 
ing the whole year, are most especially adapt- 
ed to excite in the hearts of the Faithful 
those various sentiments of love and gratitude, 
of compassion for the sufferings of our Lord, 
of sorrow and detestation for sin, which every 
Christian ought to cherish in this holy time. 
It is with the sincere desire of exciting pious 
sentiments in the hearts of the faithful that 
the whole liturgy of the Church for Holy 
Week has been collected in this volume, and 
is presented to the public, both in the Latin 
and English languages. Thus, while the pious 
Christian unites his voice with that of the 
priest and of the choir, he may also penetrate 
the sense of the divine office, and sanction by 
the fervor of his heart what he pronounces 
with his tongue. For this reason, the editor 
flatters himself that this book will not fail to 
please all those who still entertain a due sense 


Preface. II 


of piety and religion; and may profit even 
those who, through a want of instruction, 
seldom or never reflect on the great mysteries 
which the Church commemorates during Holy 
Week. The very reading of this most pious 
and affecting part of the Church's liturgy is 
capable of exciting in their hearts a true and 
solid devotion.

N a spirit of humility 

and with contrition 
of heart, we pray thee, 
O Lord! to make us ac- 
ceptable to thee; and 
let our sacrifice be so 
performed this day, in 
thy sight, that it may be 
pleasing-to thee, O Lord 
our God! 


After which, lifting up his eyes to Heaven, he blesses the Bread and 
Wine, saying: 


ENI, sanctificator 

omnipotens, ater- 

ne Deus: et benedic hoc 

sacrificium tuo sancto 
nomini praeparatum. 


OME, O Almighty 
Sanctifier, eternal 
God ! and bless this sa- 
crifice, prepared" for the 
honor of thy holy name, 


The following blessing of the Incense and the incensing of the Altar, 
as far as Lavabo, is omitted in private Masses: 


ER intercessionem 

beati Michaelis 
Archangeli, stantis a 
dextris altaris incensi, 
et omnium electorum 
suorum, incensum istud 
dignetur Dominus bene- 
dicere, et in odorem 
suavitatis accipere, Per 
Christum Dominum nos- 
trum. Amen. 


Y the intercession 

of blessed Michael 

the Archangel, standing 

at the right hand of the 

altar of incense, and of 

all the elect, may the 

Lord bless this incense, 

and receive it as a sweet 

odor; through Christ 
our Lord. Amen. 


The Ordinary of the Mass.

While he incenses the Offerings, he says: 


NCENSUM istud a 

te benedictum, as- 

cendat ad te, Domine, 

et descendat super nos 
misericordia tua. 


AY this incense, 
which thou hast 
blessed, ascend to thee, 
O Lord! and may thy 
mercy descend upon us. 


Then he incenses the Altar, saying: 


IRIGATUR, Do- 
rine, oratio mea 
sicut incensum in con- 
spectu tuo; elevatio ma- 
nuum mearum sacrifi- 
cium vespertinum. Po- 
ne, Domine, custodiam 
ori meo, et ostium cir- 
cumstantiz labiis mei: 
ut non declinet cor me- 
um in verba malitize, ad 
excusandas excusationes 
in peccatis. 





ET my prayer, O 
Lord! be directed 
as incense in thy sight: 
the lifting up of my 
hands, an evening sacri- 
fice. Set a watch, O 
Lord! before my mouth, 
and a door round about 
my lips; that my heart 
may not incline to evil 
words, to make excuses 
in sin. 


Giving the censer to the Deacon, he says: 


CCENDAT in no- 

bis Dominus ig- 

nem sui amoris, et flam- 

mam sterne charitatis. 
Amen. 


AY the Lord kin- 

dle in us the 

fire of his love, and the 

flame of eternal charity. 
Amen. 


Then he goes to the corner of the Altar, and washes his fingers, 
saying: 


AVABO inter in- 
nocentes manus 


WILL wash my 
hands among the

Ihave loved, O Lord!

Take not away my

Whilst the Clerk pours wine into the chalice, he says:

RANT, O Lord! 
that what we have 
taken with our mouth, 
we may receive with a 
pure mind ; and that of 
a temporal gift, it may 
prove an_ everlasting 
remedy. 


Whilst he washes his fingers over the chalice with wine and water, 
he says:

been nourished with thy 
pure and holy sacra-

In the beginning was

Word was God. The 
same was in the begiu-

things were made by 
him, and without him 
was made nothing that 
was made. In him was 
life, and the life was the 
light of men; and the 
light shineth in dark- 
ness, and the darkness 
did not comprehend it. 
There was a man sent 
from God, wnose name 
was John. This man 
came for a witness, to 
bear witness of the light, 
that all men might be-

was not the light, but

PALM SUNDAY. 


Tuk first day of this Week is called Palm Sunday. being 
appointed to honor the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ 
into Jerusalem, when many of the Jews cut off branches 
from the trees, and strewed them in the way through 
which he was to pass. It is in memory of this triumph 
that the Palms are blessed, distributed to the faithful, and 
carried by them in solemn procession. They hold them 
also in their hands, while the history of the Passion is 
read out of St. Matihew's Gospel, to signify by that cere- 
mony that they are to partake of the triumph of Jesus 
Christ by the virtue of his death and passion. 

In the benediction of she Palms are mentioned tna 
branches of the Palm-tree, Olive-tree, and other trees, 
which are made use of in countries where these trees 
grow; but in our northern countries we supply that defect 
with any sort of green boughs, which are called Palms, 
from the original ceremony, and they are intended to rep- 
Tesent to us our Saviour's victory over the prince of death, 
and the riches of his mercies; the Palm branches being 
emblems of victory, and the Olive branches of mercy. 

We may also observe, that Christ enters Jerusalem on a 
day that answers to the tenth day of the moon ; when the 
Jews brought to their house (Exod. xii.) the lambs that 
were to be killed and eaten on the Passover, in memory 
of their deliverance from the slavery of Egypt, and of their 
entrance into the Land of Promise, by their miraculous 
passage over the Red Sea, Hence, in the procession of 
this day, the opening of the door of the Church by knock- 
ing with the foot of the Cross, signifies not only the tri- 
umphant entry into Jerusalem, but also that the gates of 
the celestial Jerusalem were opened for us by Christ, the 
true Paschal Lamb, dying on the Cross, to redeem ws 


from the slavery of sin,

The Palms being blessed, they are distributed by the Priest to the 
clergy, and to the laity. The Palms are received kneeling. The

Some spread their gar-

Christ Jesus; who being 

in the form of God, 

thought it no robbery 
himself to be equal to 

God; but debased him-

a servant, being made 

to the likeness of men, 

and in shape found as a 

man. He humbled him- 

self, becoming obedient 
unto death, even the 
death of the cross.

V. Far from my sal-

my sins. 

V. O my God! I shall 
cry by day, and thou 
wilt not hear; and by 
night, and it shall not be 
reputed as folly in me. 

V. But thou dwellest 
in the holy place, the 
praise of Israel. 

V. In thee have our 
fathers hoped; they have 
hoped, and thou hast de- 
livered them. 

V. They cried to thee, 
and they were saved; 
they trusted in thee, and 
were not confounded. 

V. But I am a worm, 
and no man; the re- 
proach of men, and the 
outcast of the people. 

V. All they that saw 
me, have laughed me to 
scorn; they have spoken 
with the lips, and wagged 
the head.

ples You know that 
after two days shall be 
the pasch, and the Son 
of Man shall be deliv-

‘Then were gathered to- 
gether the chief priests, 
and the ancients of the 
people, into the palace 
of the high priest, who 
wascalled Caiphas. And 
they consulted together, 
that, by subtilty, they 
might apprehend Jesus 
and put him to death. 
But they said: Not on 
the festival day, lest 
there should be a tumult 
among the people. And 
when Jesus was in Be- 
thania, in the house of 
Simon the leper, there 
came to him a woman 
having an alabaster-box 
of precious ointment, 
and poured it on his 
head, as he was at table

it, had indignation, say-

ing it, said to them 
Why do you trouble this 
woman? for she hath 
wrought a good work 
upon me. For the poor 
you have always with 
you: but me you have 
not always. For she, in 
pouring this ointment 
upon my body, hath 
done it for my burial. 
Amen, I say to you, 
wheresoever this gospel 
shall be preached in the 
whole world, that also 
which she hath done 
shall be told for a mem- 
ory of her. ‘Then went 
one of the twelve, who 
was called Judas Isca-

will you give me, and I 
will deliver him unto 
you? But they appoint-

thenceforth he sought 
opportunity to betray 
him.

Jesus said: Go ye into

and say to him: The 
master saith, My time is 
near at hand; I will keep 
the pasch at thy house 
with my disciples. And 
the disciples did as Jesus 
had appointed them, and 
they prepared the pasch. 
Now when it was even-

twelve disciples. And 
whilst they were eating, 
he said: Amen, I say to 
you, that one of you is 
about to betray me. And

And whilst they were at 
supper, Jesus took bread, 
and blessed and broke, 
and gave to his disci- 
ples, and said: Take ye 
and eat: this is my 
body. And taking the 
chalice he gave thanks : 
and gave to them, say-

shed for many for the 
remission of sins. And 
I say to you, I will not

of the fruit of the vine, 
until that day when I 
shall drink it new with

And Peter answering, 
said to him: "Though ali

to him: Amen I say to 
thee, that in this night, 
before the cock crow,

Peter sagh to him: 
Though I should die 
with thee, I will not deny

Then Jesus came with 
them to a country place 
which is called Gethse-

disciples : Sit you here,

And taking with him Pe-

Palm Sunday. 


Wherefore that field was 
called Haceldama, that 
is, the field of blood, even 
to this day. Then was 
fulfilled that which was 
spoken by Jeremias the 
prophet, saying: And 
they took the thirty 
pieces of silver, the price 
of him that was valued, 
whom they prized of the 
children of Israel. And 
they gave them unto the 
potter's field, as the 
Lord appointed to me. 
And Jesus stood before 
the governor, and the 
governor asked him, say- 
ing: Art thou the king 
of the Jews? Jesus saith 
to him: Thou sayest it. 
And when he was ac- 
cused by the chief priests 
and ancients, he an- 
swered nothing. Then 
Pilate saith to him: 
Dost thou not hear how 
great testimonies they 
allege against thee? 
And he answered him 
not to any word: so 
that the governor won- 
dered exceedingly.

Now upon the solemn 
day the governor was 
accustomed to release to 
the people one prisoner, 
whom they would. And 
he had then a notorious 
prisoner, that was called 
Barabbas. They, there- 
fore, being gathered 
together, Pilate said: 
Whom will you that I 
release to you, Barabbas, 
or Jesus, who is called 
Christ? For he knew 
that through envy they 
had delivered him up. 
And as he was sitting on 
the judgment-seat, his 
wife sent to him, saying: 
Have thou nothing to do 
with that just man. For 
I have suffered many 
things this day in a 
dream on account of 
him. But the chief 
priests and ancients per- 
suaded the people, that 
they should ask Barab- 
bas, and make Jesus 
away. And the gover- 
nor answering, said to 
them: Which will you 
have of the two to be

them: Why, what cvi?

him, they put a scarlet 
cloak about him. And 
platting a crown of 
thorns, they put it upon 
his head, and a reed in 
his right hand. Anc 
bowing the knee before 
him, they mocked him 
saying: Hail, king of 
the Jews! And spitting 
upon him, they took the 
reed, and struck his 
head. And after they 
had mocked him, they 
took off the cloak from 
him, and put on him his 
own garments, and led 
him away to crucify 
him. 

And going out, they 
found a man of Cyrene, 
named Simon; him they 
forced to take up his 
cross. And they came to 
the place that is called 
Golgotha, which is, the 
place of Calvary. And 
they gave him wine to 
drink mingled with gall. 
And when he had tasted, 
he would not drink. And

after they had crucified 
him, they parted his gar-

the word might be ful- 
filled which was spoken 
by the prophet, saying : 
They divided my gar-

upon my vesture they 
castlots. And they sat 
down, and, watched him. 
And they put over his 
head his cause written : 
This is Jesus, the King 
of the Jews. Then were 
there crucified with him 
two thieves; the one on 
the right hand, and the 
other on the left. Ana 
they that passed by blas-

their heads, and saying:

the temple of God, and

from the sixth hour, there 
was darkness over all the

Judea was made his

The sea saw and fled: 
Jordan was turned back.

Lectio Jeremiz Prophe- 
te, cap. xi. 18-20. 


N diebus illis: Dixit 
Jeremias : Domine, 
demonstrasti mihi, et 
cognovi : tunc ostendisti 
mihi studia eoram. Et 
ego quasi agnus mansu- 
etus, qui portatur ad vic- 
timam : et non cognovi 
quia cogitaverunt super 
me consilia, dicentes : 
Mittamus lignum in pa- 
nem ejus, et eradamus 
eum de terra viventium, 
et nomen ejus non me- 
moretur amplius. Tu 
autem, Domine Sabaoth, 
qui judicas juste, et pro- 
bas renes et corda, vide- 
am ultionem tuam ex 
eis: tibi enim revelavi 
causam meam, Domine, 
Deus meus. 


The Lesson from the 
Prophet Jeremias, xi. 
18-20. 


N those days, Jere- 

mias said: Thou, O 
Lord! hast showed me, 
and I have known: then 
thou showedst me their 
doings. And I was as a 
meek lamb, that is car- 
ried to bea victim: and 
Iknew not that they had 
devised counsels against 
me, saying, Let us put 
wood on his bread, and 
cut him off from the land 
of the living, and let his 
nàme be remembered no 
more. Butthou, O Lord 
of Sabaoth ! who judg- 
est justly, and triest the 
reins and the hearts, let 
me see thy revenge on 
them: for to thee have 
I revealed my cause, O 
Lord, my God!

leper, and was at meat: 
there came a woman

of ointment of precious 
spikenard: and break-

she poured it out upon

were some that had in-

was this waste of the 
ointment made? For 
this ointment might have 
been sold for more than 
three hundred pence, 
and given to the poor. 
And they murmured 
against her. But Jesus 
said: Let her alone, why 
do you molest her? She 
hath wrought a good 
work upon me.” For the 
poor you have always 
with you; and whenso-

‘The Master saith: Where 
is my refectory, where I 
may eat the pasch with 
my disciples? And he 
will show you a large 
dining-room furnished ; 
and there prepare ye for

went their way, and came 
into the city; and they 
found as he had told 
them, and they prepared 
the pasch. And when 
evening was come, he

And when they were at

saith: Amen I say to 
you, one of you that

to be sorrowful, and to 
say to him one by one: 
Is it I? And he said to 
them: One of the twelve

We heard him say, I will 
destroy this temple made 
with hands, and within 
three days I will build 
another not made with 
hands. And their tes- 
timony did not agree. 
And the high priest ris- 
ing up in the midst, 
asked Jesus, saying: An- 
swerest thou nothing to 
the things that are laid 
to thy charge by these 
men? But he held his 
peace and answered no- 
thing. Again the high 
priest asked him and 
said unto him; Art thou 
the Christ, the Son of 
the blessed God? And 
Jesus said to him, I am, 
And you shall see the 
Son of Man sitting on 
the right hand of the 
power of God, and com-

of death And some 
began to spit on him, 
and to cover his face, 
and to buffet him, aud 
to say to him, Prophesy : 
and the servants struck 
him with the palms of 
their hands. Now when 
Peter was in the court 
below, there cometh one 
of the maid servants of 
the high priest. And 
when she had seen Peter 
warming himself, look- 
ing on him she aith: 
"Thou also wast with Je- 
sus of Nazareth. But 
he denied, saying: I 
neither know nor under- 
stand what thou sayest. 
And he went forth be- 
fore the court, and the 
cock crew. And again 
a maid servant seeing 
him, began to say to the 
bystanders: This is one 
ofthem. But he denied 
again. And after a while 
they that stood by, said

thou art one of them, for 
thou art also a Galilean. 
But he began to curse 
and to swear, saying: I 
know not this man of 
whom you speak, And 
immediately the cock 
crew again. And Peter 
remembered the word 
that Jesus had said to 
him: Before the cock 
crow twice, thou shalt 
deny me thrice. And 
jhe began to weep. 
And straightway in 
the morning the chief 
priests holding a consul- 
tation with the ancients 
and the Scribes and the 
whole council, bound 
Jesus and led him away, 
and delivered him to Pi- 
late. And Pilate asked 
him: Art thou the King

Thou sayest it. And the

many things they accuse 
thee. But Jesus still 
answered nothing, so 
that Pilate wondered. 
Now on the festival day, 
he was wont to release 
unto them one of the 
prisoners, whomsoever 
they demanded. And 
there was one called 
Barabbas, who was ‘put 
in prison with seditious 
men, who in the sedition 
had committed murder. 
And when the multitude 
was come up, they began 
to desire that he would 
do as he had always 
done to them. And 
Pilate answered them, 
and said : Will you that 
I release to you the 
King of the Jews? For 
he knew that the chief 
priests had delivered 
him up out of envy. 
But the chief priests 
moved the people, that 
he should rather release 
Barabbas to them. And 
Pilate again answering, 
saith to them: What

But they again cried 
out: Crucify him. And 
Pilate saith to them: 
Why, what evil hath he 
done? But they cried 
out the more: Crucify 
him. So Pilate being 
willing to satisfy the 
people, released to them 
Barabbas, and delivered 
up Jesus, when he had 
scourged him, to be cru- 
cified. And the soldiers 
led him into the court 
of the palace, and they 
call together the whole 
band: and they clothe 
him with purple, and 
plaiting a crown of 
thorns, they put it upon 
him. And they began 
to salute him, Hail, King 
of the Jews! And they 
struck his head with a 
reed : and they did spit 
on him, and bowing their 
knees, they worshipped 
him. 

And after they had 
mocked him, they took 
off the purple from him, 
and put his own gar-

led him out to crucify 
him. And they forced 
one Simon, a Cyrenian, 
who passed by, coming 
out of the country, the 
father of Alexander and 
of Rufus, to take up his 
cross. And they bring 
him into the place called 
Golgotha, which being 
interpreted, is the place 
of Calvary. And they 
gave him to drink wine 
mingled with myrrh; 
but he took it not. And 
crucifying him, they di-

every man should take. 
And it was the third 
hour, and they crucified 
him. And the inscrip-

written over: The King

him they crucify two 
thieves, the one on his 
right hand, and the 
other on his left. And

And when he had under-

And to whom is the arm

And he shall grow up 
as a tender plant before 
him, and as a root out of. 
a thirsty ground: there 
is no beauty in him, 
nor comeliness: and we 
have seen him, and 
there was no sightliness, 
that we should be desir- 
ous of him. Despised, 
and the most abject of 
men, a man of sorrows, 
and acquainted with 
infirmity ; and his look 
was as it were hidden 
and despised, whereupon 
we esteemed him not. 
Surely he hath borne our 
infirmities, and carried our 
sorrows: and we have 
thought him as it were a 
leper, and as one struck 
by God and afflicted. But 
he was wounded for our 
iniquities, he was bruised 
for our sins: the chastise- 
ment of our peace was 
upon him, and by his 
bruises we are healed. All 
we like sheep have gone

they were fried in a fry-

Jesus Christ according

T the time the

called the pasch, was at

priests and the scribes

he might betray him to 
them. And they were 
glad, and covenanted to 
give him money. And 
he promised. And he 
sought for an opportu- 
nity to betray him in 
the absence of the mul- 
titude. And the day of 
the unleavened bread 
came, on which it was 
necessary that the pasch 
should be killed. And 
he sent Peter and John, 
saying: Gnd repare 
us the pasch thi* we

Where wilt thou that we

to them: Behold, as you

they going, found as he 
had said to them: and 
they made ready the 
pasch. 

And when the hour 
was come, he sat down, 
and the twelve apostles 
with him. And he said 
to them: With desire I 
have desired to eat this 
pasch with you before I 
suffer. For I say to 
you, that from this time 
I will not eat it, till it be 
fulfilled in the kingdom 
of God. And having 
taken the chalice, he 
gave thanks and said: 
Take, and divide it 
among you. For I say 
to you, that I will not 
drink of the fruit of the 
vine till the kingdom of 
God come. And taking

to enquire among them-

thing. And there was 
also a strife amongst 
them, which of them 
seemed to be greater.

said: Simon, Simon, be-

day, till thou, thrice, 
deny that thou knowest

them : When 1 sent you 
without purse, and scrip, 
and shoes, did you want 
anything? But they 
said: Nothing. Then 
said he to them: But 
now, he that hath a 
purse, let him take it, 
and likewise a scrip: 
and he that hath no 
sword, let him sell his 
coat and buy one. For 
I say to you that this 
that is written must yet 
be fulfilled in me: And 
with the wicked he was 
reputed. For the things 
concerning me have an 
end. But they said:

And when he was come 
to the place he said to 
them: Pray, lest ye en-

he was withdrawn away 
from them a stone's cast: 
and kneeling down, he 
prayed, saying: Father! 
if thou wilt, remove this 
chalice from me: never- 
theless, not my will but 
thine be done. And 
there appeared to him 
an angel from heaven, 
strengthening him. And 
being in an agony, he 
prayed the longer. And 
his sweat became as 
drops of blood trickling 
down upon the ground. 
And when he rose up 
from prayer, and was 
come to his disciples, he 
found them sleeping for 
sorrow. And he said to 
them: Why sleep you? 
Arise, pray, lest you en-

he was yet speaking, be-

he that was called Judas, 
one of the twelve, went

smote him on the face. 
And they asked him, 
saying: Prophesy, who

And many other things, 
blaspheming, they said

Galilean. And when he 
understood that he be-

away to Herod, who 
himself was also at Je- 
rusalem in those days. 
And Herod, seeing Je- 
sus, was very glad, for 
he was desirous of a 
long time to see him, 
because he had heard 
many things of him; 
and he hoped to see 
some miracle wrought 
by him. And he ques- 
tioned him with many 
words. But he answered 
him nothing. And the 
chief priests and the 
scribes stood by, ear- 
nestly accusing him. 
And Herod with his 
soldiers despised him; 
and mocked him, put- 
ting on him a white gar- 
ment, and sent him back

to Pilate. And Herod 
and Pilate were made 
friends that same da: 
for before they were ene 
mies one to another. 
Then Pilate, calling to- 
gether the chief priests, 
and the magistrates, and 
the people, said to them: 
You have brought this 
man to me, as one that 
perverteth the people, 
and behold I, having ex- 
amined him before you, 
find no cause in this man 
touching those things, 
wherein you accuse him, 
No, nor Herod neither: 
for I sent you to him, and 
behold nothing worthy 
of death is done to him. 
Iwill chastise him there- 
fore, and release him. 
Now of necessity he was 
to release to them one 
upon the feast day. But 
thewhole multitude cried 
outatonce,saying: Away 
with this man, and re- 
lease unto us Barabbas ; 
who for a certain sedi-

Pilate spoke to them 
again, desiring to release 
Jesus. But they cried 
out, saying: Crucify him, 
crucifyhim. And he said 
to them the third time: 
Why, what evil hath this 
man done? I find no 
cause of death in him; I 
will chastise him there- 
fore, and let him go. But 
they were instant with 
loud voices requiring 
that he might be cruci- 
fied; and their voices 
prevailed. And Pilate 
gave sentence, that their 
petition should be grant- 
ed. And he released 
unto them him, who, for 
murder and sedition, had 
been cast into prison, 
whom they had desired; 
but Jesus he delivered 
up to their will, And 
as they led him away, 
they laid hold on one 
Simon of Cyrene, that 
was coming out of the 
country: and they laid 
the cross on him to carry 
after Tesus.

And there followed him 
a great multitude of peo- 
ple, and of women; who 
bewailed and lamented 
him, But Jesus turning 
to them, said: Daughters 
of Jerusalem ! weep not 
over me, but weep for 
yourselves, and for your 
children, For behold 
the days shall come, 
wherein they will say: 
Blessed are the barren, 
and the wombs that have 
notborne,and the breasts 
that have not given suck, 
Then shall they begin to 
say to the mountains: 
Fall upon us; and to the 
hills: Cover us. For if 
in the green wood they 
do these things, what 
shall be done in the dry? 
And there were also two 
other malefactors led 
with him, to be put to 
death. And when they 
were come to the place, 
which is called Calvary, 
they crucified him there; 
and the robbers, one on 
the right hand, and the 
other on the left And

Jesus said: Father! for-

not what they do. But 
they divided his gar-

And the people stood 
beholding, and the ru- 
lers with them derided 
him, saying: He saved 
others, let him save him-

chosen of God. And 
the soldiers also mocked 
him, coming to him, and 
offering him vinegar, and 
saying: If thou be the 
King of the Jews, save

also a  superscription 
writen over him in 
Greek, and Latin, and 
Hebrew letters: This is 
the King of the Jews. 
And one of these robbers, 
who were hanging, blas-

to him: Amen I say to 
thee, this day thou shalt

And it was almost the 
sixth hour; and there 
was darkness over all 
the earth until the ninth 
hour. And the sun was 
darkened ; and the veil 
of the temple was rent 
in the midst. And Je-

voice, said: Father! into

this he gave up the

This man went to Pilate,

him in a sepulchre, that 
was hewn in stone, 
wherein never yet any

THE TENEBRJE. 


In the evening of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the Church 
performs a solemn office commonly called the Yenedra, which, in the 
foliowing translation, is ranged under the titles of Maundy Thursday, 
Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, being the Matins and Lauds assigned 
to those days. The name of Temeóre is given to it from the circum 
stance of extinguishing, during the course of it, all the candies which 
have been prepared in the saactuary for the ceremony, 

The rites of the Church upon these three days declare her concern and 
her trouble for the sufferings of her Redeemer and the sins of men. She 
lays aside every expression of joy and festivity. Her offices are not com- 
menced with those impressive invocations by which she beseeches the 
Lord to open her lips to sing his praises, and to come to her assistance, to 
enable her to render him a homage worthy of his majesty. The sacred 
doxology, Gloria Patri, is omitted at the end of the Psalms. No hymns 
of divine praise are sung. No Dominus vobiscum is said, to ask the 
blessing of God upon the people. The Psalms and the Lessons that con 
stitute her office breathe scarcely anything else but sighs and lamenta 
tions. Her canonical hours are terminated by the same prayer, imploring 
God to look with an eye of pity on those for whom his Son our Lord has 
vouchsafed to suffer death. At every other time, before she offers up a 
prayer, the people are invited to unite with her in spirit, and at the con- 
clusion express their assent by the acclamation amen ; but upon this 
occasion, to evince still more the greatness of her sorrow, the invitation 
and the acclamation are both omitted. 

The six candles on the Altar, and the fifteen candles placed on the 
epistle side, all burning at the beginning of the office, signify the lights 
of faith preached by the Prophets and Jesus Christ ; of which faith the 
fundamental article is the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, represented by 
the triangular candlestick. At the repetition of the fourteen Antiphons 
in the Matins and Lauds, fourteen of the candles in the triangular can- 
dlestick are extinguished, and at the last six verses of the Benedictus 
those on the Altar are put out, to teach us that the Jews were totally 
deprived of the light of faith when they put our Saviour to death. But 
the fifteenth candle, that represents the light of the world, Jesus Christ, 
is only hidden for a time under the Altar, and afterwards brought out 
again, still burning ; to signify that, though Christ, according to his hu- 
manity, died, and was laid in the sepulchre, yet he was always alive 
according to his Divinity, by ha he raised his body again to life

‘The darkness which pervades the sanctuary while the Miserere and 
Prayer are said naturally puts us in mind of the darkness that covered 
‘the whole earth at his death ; and the noise made at the end of the 
prayer represents the confusion of nature for the loss of its Author, when 
the earth trembled, the rocks were rent, the graves opened, and the veil 
ef the temple was torn from the top to the bottom,

For the zeal of thy

thee are fallen upon me. 

And I covered my

Aleph. sedet sola

Beth, Plorans ploravit 
in nocte, et lacryme ejus

qui consoletur eam ex 
omnibus charis ejus: 
omnes amici ejus spre- 
verunt eam, et facti sunt 
ei inimici. 


Ghimel. Migravit Ju- 
das propter afflictionem,

omnes persecutores ejus 
apprehenderunt eam in-

The beginning of the la- 
mentation of Jeremias, 
the Prophet, chap. i. 


OW doth 
Aleph. the city 
sit solitary that was full 


of people? how is the 
mistress of the nations 
become as a widow; the 


princess of provinces 
made tributary ? 
Beth. Weeping, she 


hath wept in the night, 
and her tears are on her 
cheeks ; there is none to 
comfort her among them 
all that were dear to her: 
all her friends have de- 
spised her, and are be- 
come her enemies. 

Ghimel. Juda hath 
removed her dwelling 
place, because of her 
affliction, and the great- 
ness of her bondage: she 
hath dwelt among the 
nations, and she hath 
found no rest; all her 
persecutors have taken 
her in the midst of 
straits.

iniquities ; her children

remembered the days of 
her affliction, and trans.

able things, which she 
had from the days of 
old, when her people feli

at her sabbaths.

Blessed be the Lord,

there strength in their

They are not in the

They have thought

They have set their

passed through the earth. 

Therefore will my peo-

And they said: How 
doth God know? and is 
there knowledge in the 
Most High? 

Behold these are sin-

have obtained riches. 

And I said: Then

How are they brought

Thou hast held me

by thy will thou hast 
conducted me, and with 
glory thou hast received 
me. 

For what have I in 
heaven? And besides 
thee, what do I desire 
upon earth ? 

For thee my flesh and 
my heart have fainted 
away: thou art the God 
of my heart, and the 
God that is my portion 
for ever. 

For behold, they that 
go far from thee shall 
perish : thou hast de- 
stroyed all them that are 
disloyal to thee. 

But it is good for me 
to stick close to God ; 
to put my hope in the

Thou hast broken the

THE FIFTH LESSON, 


TINAM ergo qui 

nos modo exer- 

cent, convertantur et 
nobiscum exerceantur : 
tamen quamdiu ita sunt 
ut exerceant, non eos 
oderimus; quia in eo 
quod malus est quis 
eorum, utrum usque in 
finem perseveraturus sit 
ignoramus. Et plerum- 
que, cum tibi videris 
odisse inimicum, fra- 
trem odisti, et nescis. 
Diabolus, et angeli ejus 
in Scripturis sanctis 
manifestati sunt nobis, 
quod ad ignem seternum 
sint destinati. Ipsorum 
tantum desperanda est 
correctio, contra quos 
habemus occultam luc- 
tam; ad quam luctam 
nos armat Apostolus, 
dicens: Non est nobis 
colluctatio adversus car- 
nem et sanguinem; id 
est, non adversus homi- 
nes, quos videtis, sed 
adversus principes, et 
Dotestates, et rectores 


OULD to God 

then, they that 

now exercise us, were 
converted and exercised 
with us; but let us not 
hate them, though they 
continue to exercise us; 
for we know not whether 
they will persevere to 
the end in their wicked- 
ness. And many times, 
when you imagine that 
you hate your enemy, 
it is your brother you 
hate, though you are ig- 
norantofit. The Holy 
Scriptures plainly show 
us, that the devil and 
his agents are doomed 
to eternal fire. It is 
only their amendment 
we may despair of, with 
whom we wage an invi- 
sible war; for which the 
Apostle arms us, say- 
ing: Our conflict is not 
with flesh and blood, 
that is, not with the 
men you see before 
your eyes, but with the 
princes and powers.

justice and strife 

in the city. See the 
glory of the cross. That 
cross, that was the deri- 
sion of his enemies, is 
now placed on the fore- 
heads of kings. The 
effect is a proof of his 
power; he conquered 
the world, not by the 
sword, but by the wood. 
The wood of the cross 
was thought a subject 
of scorn by his enemies, 
who as they stood be- 
fore it, shook their heads 
and said: If he is the 
Son of God, let him 
come down from the 
cross. He stretched 
forth his hands to an 
unbelieving and sedi- 
tious people. For if he 
is just that lives by faith, 
he is unjust that hath 
not faith. By injustice, 
then, here you must un- 
derstand infidelity. The

For neither from the 
east, nor from the west, 


nor from the desert 
hills; for God is the 
judge. 


One he putteth down, 
and another he lifteth 
up: for in the hand of 
the Lord there is a cup

mixture. 

And he hath poured

but the dregs thereof 
are not emptied ; all the

At thy rebuke, O God

Thou art terrible, and 
who shall resist thee? 
from that time thy 
wrath. 

Thou hast caused 
judgment to be heard 
from heaven: the earth 
trembled and was still. 

When God arose in 
judgment, to save all the 
meek of the earth, 


For the thought of 
man shall give praise to 
thee; and the remain-

Maundy Thursday. 


And I meditated in 
the night with mine own 
heart: and I was exer. 
cised, and I swept my 
spirit. 

Will God then cast 
off for ever? or will he 
never be more favorable 
again ? 

Or will he cut off his 
mercy for ever, from 
generation to genera- 
tion ? 

Or will God forget to 
show mercy ? or will he 
in his anger shut up his 
mercies ? 

And I said: Now have 
I begun: this is the 
change of the right hand 
of the Most High. 

I remembered the 
works of the Lord : for 
I will be mindful of thy 
wonders from the begin- 
ning. 

And I will meditate 
on all the works, and 
will be employed in thy 
inventions.

in the holy place; who

Out of the first Epistle 
of St. Paul the Apos- 
tle to the Corinthians, 
chap. xi. 

OW this I ordain ; 

not praising you, 

that you come together 
not for the better, but 
forthe worse. For first 
of all I hear that when 
you come together in the 

church, there are divi- 

sions among you, and in 

part I believe it. For 
there must be also here- 
sies; that they also, who 
are approved, may be 
made manifest among 
you. When you come 
together therefore inta 
one place, it is not now 
to eat the Lord's supper. 
For every one taketh

to eat. And one indeed 
is hungry, and another 
is drunk. What! have 
you not houses to eat 
and to drink in? Or 
despise ye the church 
of God; and put them 
to shame that have not? 
What shall I say to you? 
Do I praise you? In 
this I praise you not. 

KR. I was like an inno- 
cent lamb; I was led to 
be sacrificed, and I knew 
it not: my enemies con- 
spired against me, say- 
ing: Come, let us put 
wood on his bread, and 
cut him off from the land 
of the living.

contrived evils to me; 
they determined against 
me an unjust word, say- 
ing: Come, etc.

to you, that the Lord 
Jesus, the same night in 
which he was betrayed, 
took bread, and giving 
thanks, broke, and said : 
Take ye, and eat: this 
is my body which shall 
be delivered for you; 
this do for the comme- 
moration of me. In like 
manner also the chalice, 
after he had supped, 
saying: This chalice is 
the new testament in 
my blood: this do ye, 
as often as you shall 
drink it, for the comme- 
moration of me. For 
as often as you shall eat 
this bread, and drink 
this chalice, you shall 
show the death of the 
Lord, until he come. 

&. Could you not 
watch one hour with 
me, you that were re-" 
solved to die for me?

how he sleeps not, but

me to the Jews ?

THE NINTH LESSON. 


TAQUE quicumque 
l / manducaverit pa- 
nem hunc, vel biberit 
calicem Domini indigne, 
reus erit corporis et san- 
guinis Domini. Probet 
autem seipsum homo, et 
sic de pane illo edat, et 
de calice bibat. Qui 
enim manducat et bibit 
indigne, judicium sibi 
manducat et bibit, non 
dijudicans corpus Domi- 
ni. Ideo inter vos multi 
infirmi et imbecilles, et 
dormiunt multi. Quod 
si nosmetipsos dijudica- 
remus, non utique judi- 
caremur. Dum judica- 
mur autem, a Domino 
corripimur, ut non cum 
hoc mundo damnemur. 
Itaque, fratres mei, cum 
convenitis ad mandu- 
candum, invicem expec- 
tate. Siquis esurit, domi 
manducet; ut non in 
judicium ^ conveniatis. 





HEREFORE, 
whosoever shall 

eat this bread, or drink 
the chalice of the Lord 
unworthily, shall be 
guilty of the body and 
of the blood of the Lord. 
But let a man prove him- 
self, and so let him eat 
of that bread, and drink 
of the chalice. For he 
that eateth and drinketh 
unworthily, eateth and 
drinketh "judgment to 
himself, not discerning 
the body of the Lord. 
Thereforearetheremany 
infirm and weak among 
you, and many sleep. 
But if we would judge 
ourselves, we should not 
be judged. But whilst 
we are judged, we are 
chastised by the Lord ;

demned with this world.

hand known: and make 
us learned in heart, in 
wisdom. 

Return, O Lord! how 
long? and be entreated 
in favor of thy servants. 


We are filled in the 
morning with thy mercy; 
and we have rejoiced, 
and are delighted all our 
days. 

We have rejoiced for 
the days in which thou 
hast humbled us: for the 
years in which we have 
seen evils. 

Look upon thy ser- 
vants, and upon their 
works: and direct their 
children. 

And let the brightness 
of the Lord our God 
be upon us; and direct 
thou the works of our 
hands over us; yea, the 
work of our hands do 
thou direct.

PSALM 62. 


US, Deus meus, 
* ad te de luce 





in te anima 
mea, * quam multiplici- 
ter tibi caro mea. 

In terra deserta, et 
invia, et inaquosa : * sic 
in sancto apparui tibi, 
ut viderem virtutem tu- 
am, et gloriam tuam. 


Quoniam melior est 
misericordia tua super 
vitas: * labia mea lau- 
dabunt te. 

Sic benedicam te in 
vita mea: * et in nomine 
tuo levabo manus meas. 


Sicut adipe et pingue- 
dine repleatur anima 
mea: * et labiis exulta- 
tionis laudabit os meum. 


GOD, my God! to 
thee do I watch at 
break of day. 

For thee my soul hath 
thirsted ; for thee my 
flesh, O how many ways! 

In a desert land, and 
where there is no way, 
and no water: so in the 
sanctuary have I come 
before thee, to see thy 
power and thy glory. 

For thy mercy is bet- 
ter than lives: thee my 
lips shall praise. 


Thus will I bless thee 
all my life long: and in 
thy name I will lift up 
my hands. 

Let my soul be filled 
as with marrow and fat- 
ness; and my mouth 
shall praise thee witb 
joyful lips.

Si memor fui tui su-

Et in velamento ala-

adhesit anima mea post 
te: * me suscepit dex- 
tera tua. 


Ipsi vero in vanum 
quesierunt animam me- 
am, introibunt in infe- 
riora terre: * tradentur 
in manus gladii, partes 
vulpium erunt. 


Rex vero letabitur in 
Deo, laudabuntur omnes 
qui jurant in eo: * quia 
obstructum est os lo- 
quentium iniqua. 


Maundy Thursday. 


If I have remem- 
bered thee upon my 
bed, I will meditate on 
thee in the morning: 
because thou hast been 
my helper. 

And I will rejoice un- 
der the covert of thy 
wings: my soul hath 
stuck close to thee: thy 
right hand hath received 
me. 

But they have sought 
my soul in vain, they 
shall go into the lower 
parts of the earth: they 
shall be delivered into 
the hands of the sword ; 
they shall be the por- 
tions of foxes. 

But the king shall 
rejoice in God; all they 
shall be praised that 
swear by him: because 
the mouth is stopped of 
them that speak wickcd 
things.

Let the nations be 
glad and rejoice; for 
thou judgest the people 
with justice, and direct-

earth. 

Let the people, O 
God! confess to thee, let 
all the people give praise

MAUNDY THURSDAY. 


"Tux Roman Missal and Breviary call this day Feria quinta in Cana 
Domini ; this is, The Thursday of the Lord's Supper, being the day 
when our Lord, at his last supper, instituted the Sacrament of the 
Eucharist. It is called by the French Jeudi Aésolut, or Absolution 
Thursday ; because the sentence of Absolution was then pronounced 
over the public penitents. We call it Maunday Thursday, from the 
ceremony of washing the feet, called in the Rubric Mandatum, which 
is the first A nifAon sung during the ceremony. 

‘The Mass on this day differs from the rest of the Office, That of the 
Holy Eucharist is celebrated, a subject, therefore, of joy and thanksgiv- 
ing, expressed by the ringing of bells and the white color of the vest- 
ments and ornaments of the Altar. For, though the Church is wholly 
taken up during this week with the passion of Christ, and for that reax 
son has appointed the feast of Corpus Christi as a day of thanksgiving 
for the institution of that Sacrament, yet she could not refrain from 
some expressions of her joy and gratitude on the very day when our 
Lord was pleased to give us so wonderful a pledge of his love, But 
after the Gloria in Excelsis the bells are silent during the remainder 
of this day, all Good Friday and Holy Saturday, until the recurrence 
of the same Angelical hymn on the last-mentioned day. This is in- 
tended to honor the wonderful silence of our Saviour during his passion, 
and to express the aston'shment and mourning of the Church for the 
death of her Spouse. 

The Rubric prescribes the consecration of two Hosts—one for the 
sacrifice of this day, the other to be carried in solemn procession to a 
place adorned with lights, where it is kept with great splendor for the 
office of the next day. ‘The reason of this solemn worship of God in the 
B. Sacrament is to give the people an opportunity of returning thanks 
to God for this inestimable blessing on the very day itself of its institu 
sion; and this sentiment is strikingly evinced by them in their frequent 
visits to the places where it isreserved. ‘The B. Sacrament is removed 
from the principal Altar, that the devotion of the passion, which was 
there commenced the evening before, at the Tenedre, may be continued 
without pomp or magnificence. ‘The custom of visiting the B. Sacra- 
ment on this day is commonly called Visiting Sepulchres, but very im- 
properly and contrary to the intention of the Church, which, in her 
Rubric, ordains the honor given to it to be expressed by lights and the 
richest ornaments—things very unbecoming a Sepulchre Besides, 1t 
would be prepaterous to pay our devotions to Jesus Christ in his grave

vepresentations of that kind, made under the Altar where the Holy 
Eucharist is kept, must be esteemed a devotion of private persons ot 
particular countries, not in accordance with the original design of the 
Church of Rome. 

After the vespers, the Priest with his ministers divest the Altars of 
the church of their coverings and other ornaments. The Antiphon 
Diviserunt and the Psalm Deus, Deus meus, said by the Priest and 
sung by the choir during the ceremony, sufficiently show that it repre- 
sents the stripping of our Saviour of his garments, for which the soldiers 
‘east lots, and which they divided among themselves. The nakedness 
of the Altar signifies that Christ in his passion lost all his beauty and 
majesty, and was in a manner deprived of the glory of his divine nature. 

On this day the clergy of some churches meet to perform the cere- 
mony of washing the feet, called in the Rubric Mandatum, or the 
Commandment, because it is commanded by the example and words 
of Jesus Christ, in the gospel sung before the Priest begins to wash the 
feet. Hence, in each church the superior washes the feet of his infe~ 
iors; many rich do the same to the poor; and kings disdain not to 
stoop to the feet of their subjects. And it teaches us to imitate the 
humility of our Saviour, and to cleanse our souls from the stains of the 
smallest sins,

The Priest begins the Mass at the foot of the Altar, as at paged, 
down to Peccata mea—My sins, . 17.

RETHREN, when 

you come together 
into one place, it is not 
now to eat the Lord’s 
supper. For every one 
taketh before his supper 
to eat. And one indeed 
is hungry, and another 
is drunk. What! have 
you not houses to eat 
and drink in? Or de- 
spise ye the Church of 

God, and put them to 

shame that have not? 

What shall I say to you? 

Do I praise you? In this 

I praise you not. Forl 

have received of the 

Lord, that which also I 

delivered to you: that 

the Lord Jesus, the same 
night in which he was 
betrayed, took bread, 
and giving thanks 
broke it, and said : Take 
ye, and eat; this is my 
body. which shall be de.

ther; having loved his 
own who were in the 
world, he loved them to 
the end. And when 
supper was done, the 
devil having now put 
into the heart of Judas, 
the son of Simon the 
Iscariot, to betray him ; 
knowing that the Father 
had given him all things 
into his hands, and that 
he came from God, and 
goeth to God: he riseth 
from supper, and layeth 
aside his garments : and 
having taken a towel, 
he girded himself. After 
that, he poureth water 
into a basin, and began 
to wash the feet of the 
disciples, and to wipe 
them with the towel, 
wherewith he was girt. 
He cometh therefore to 
Simon Peter. And Pe 
ter saith to him: Lord! 
dost thou wash my feet? 
Jesus answered, and 
said to him: What I do 
thou knowest not now, 
but thou shalt know 
hereafter. Peter saith

to him: Thou shalt ne- 
verwash my feet. Jesus 
answered him: If I wash 
thee not, thou shalt have 
no part with me. Si- 
mon Peter saith to him: 
Lord! not only my feet, 
but also my hands and 
my head. Jesus saith 
to him: He that is 
washed, needeth not but 
to wash his feet, but is 
clean wholly. And you 
are clean, but not all. 
For he knew who he 
was that would betray 
him : therefore he said : 
You are not all clean. 
Then after he had 
washed their feet, and 
taken his garments, be- 
ing sat down again, he 
said to them: Know 
you what I have done 
to you? You call me 
Master, and. Lord; and 
you say well, for so I 
am. If then I, being 
your Lord and Master, 
have washed your feet:

On this day a proper place is prepared in some Chapel or Altar af 
the Church, and decently adorned with hangings and lights, 
where the chalice with the reserved Host is to be kept until the 
next day. At the end of the Mass, the Priest carries the B. 
Sacrament, in solemn procession, to the said place, being accom- 
panied with lights and fuming censers. Being come to the 
place, the B. Sacrament is placed on the Altar, fumed thrice 
with incense, and placed in a Tabernacle. During the procet 
tion the following Hymn is sung : 


THE HYMN. 
ANGE, lingua! gloriosi

Genitori, Genitoque 

Laus et jubilatio, 

Salus, honor, virtus quoque 
Sit et benedictio : 
Procedenti ab utroque 
Compar sit laudatio. Amen. 


The same in English. 
ING, O my tongue! adore and praise 
The depth of God's mysterious ways; 
How Christ, the world's great King, bestow'd 
His flesh, conceal'd in human food, 
And left mankind the blood, that paid 
The ransom for the souls he made. 


Giv'n from above, and born for man, 
From Virgin's womb his life began ; 
He liv'd on earth, and preach'd, to sow 
The seeds of heav'nly truth below ; 
"Then seal'd his mission from above 
With strange effects of pow'r and love. 


"Twas on that ev'ning, when the last 
And most mysterious supper past ; 


Mass. 


When Christ with his disciples sat 
To close the law with legal meat; 
Then to the twelve himself bestow'd, 
With his own hands, to be their food. 


The Word, made flesh for love of man, 
His word turns bread to flesh again, 
And wine to blood, unseen by sense, 

By virtue of Omnipotence ; 

And here the faithful rest secure, 
Whilst God can vouch, and faith ensure, 


To this mysterious table now 

Our knees, our hearts, and sense we bow; 
Let ancient rites resign their place 

To nobler elements of grace, 

And faith for all defects supply, 

While sense is lost in mystery. 


To God the Father, born of none, 
To Christ, his co-eternal Son, 

And Holy Ghost, whose equal rays 
From both proceed, one equal praise, 
One honor, jubilee, and fame, 

For ever bless his glorious name. Amen

The Lord said to me: 
Thou art my Son, to-day 
have I begotten thee. 

Ask of me, and I will 
give thee thc Gentiles 
for thy inheritance; and 
the utmost parts of the 
earth for thy possession. 

Thou shalt rule them 
with a rod of iron, and 
shalt break them in 
pieces like a potter's 
vessel. 

And now, O ye kings! 
understand; receive in- 
struction, you that judge 
the earth. 

Serve yethe Lord with 
fear, and rejoice unto 
him with trembling. 

Embrace discipline.

PSALM 2r. 


EUS, Deus meus, 

respice in me: 

quare me dereliquisti ? *

Deus meus, clamabo

Tu autem in sancto

GOD, my God! 

look upon me: 
why hast thou forsaken 
me? Far from my sal- 
vation are the words of 
my sins. 

O my God! I shall cry 
by day, and thou wilt 
not hear; and by night, 
and it shall not be re- 
puted as folly in me. 

But thou dwellest in 
the holy place, the 
praise of Israel

Ego autem sum ver-

Omnes videntes me,

In thee have our fa- 
thers hoped: they have 
hoped, and thou hast de- 
livered them. 

They cried to thee, 
and they were saved; 
they trusted in thee, and 
were not confounded. 

But I am a worm, and 
no man: the reproach 
of men, and the outcast 
of the people. 

All they that saw me 
have laughed me to 
scorn; they have spoken 
with the lips, and 
wagged the head. 

He hoped in the Lord, 
let him deliver him: let 
him save him, seeing he 
delighteth in him. 

For thou art he that 
hast drawn me out of 
the womb: my hope 
from the breasts of my 
mother. I was cast upon 
thee from the womb. 

From my mother's 
womb thou art my God; 
depart not from me. 

For tribulation is very 
near: for there is none 
to help me.

Good Friday. 


Many calves have sur-

have besieged me. 

They have opened 
their mouths against 
me, as a lion ravening 
and roaring. 

Iam poured out like 
water; and all my bones 
are scattered. 

My heart is become 
like wax melting in the 
midst of my bowels. 


My strength was dried 
up like a potsherd, and 
my tongue hath cleaved 
to my jaws; and thou 
hast brought me down 
into the dust of 
death. 

For many dogs have 
encompassed me; the 
council of the malignant 
hath besieged me. 

They have dug my 
hands and my feet : they 
have numbered all my 
bones. 

And they have looked 
and stared upon me: 
they parted my gar- 
ments amongst them,

But thou, O Lord ! re- 
move not thy help from 
me; look towards my 
defence. 

Deliver, O God! my 
soul from the sword, 
and my only one from 
the hand of the dog. 

Save me from the lion's 
mouth, and my lowness 
from the horas of uni- 
corns. 

I will declare thy name 
to my brethren; in the 
midst of the church will 
I praise thee. 

Ye that fear the Lord 
praise him: all ye the 
seed of Jacob, glorify 
him. 

Let all the seed of Is- 
rael fear him; because he 
hath not slighted nor 
despised the supplica- 
tion of the poor man. 

Neither hathheturned 
away his face from me; 
and when I cried to him 
he heard me. 

With thee is my praise 
in a great church ; I will

If a battle should rise 
up against me, in this 
will I be confident. 

One thing I have asked 
of the Lord, this will I 
seek after: that I may 
dwell in the house of 
the Lord all the days of 
my life. 

"That I may see the de- 
light of the Lord, and 
may visit his temple. 

Forhe hath hidden me 
in his tabernacle; in the 
day of evils, he hath pro- 
tected me in the secret 
place of his tabernacle. 

He hath exalted me 
upon a rock: and now 
he hath lifted up my 
head above my enemies. 

I have gone round, 
and have offered up in 
his tabernacle a sacrifice 
of jubilation ; I will sing 
and recite a psalm to the 
Lord. 

Hear, O Lord! my

cried to thee : have mer-

I walked sorrowful all 
the day long. 

For my loins are filled 
with illusions : and there 
is no health in my flesh. 


I am afflicted and 
humbled exceedingly : 
I roared with the groan- 
ing of my heart. 

Lord, all my desire is 
before thee, and my 
groaning is not hidden 
from thee.

My heart is troubled, 
my strength hath left 
me, and the light of my 
eyes itself is not with 
me. 

My friends and my

And they that were 
near me stood afar off: 
and they that sought my

evils to me spoke vain

from the assembly of the 
malignant; from tlie mul 
titude of the workers of 
iniquity. Now let us 
behold our head himself. 
Many martyrs have suf. 
fered such torments; 
but nothing is so con- 
spicuous as the head of 
martyrs; there we see 
better what they endur- 
ed. He was protected 
from the multitude of 
the malignant; that is, 
God protected himself, 
the Son, and the Man 
assumed by the Son, 
protected his own flesh. 
For he is the Son of 
Man, and the Son of 
God: the Son of God 
because of the form of 
God; the Son of Man 
because of the form of a 
servant, having in his 
power to lay down his 
life, and take it up 
again. What could his 
enemies do against him ? 
They killed his body, 
but they did not kill his 
soul Take notice then.

FIFTH LESSON. 


OU know what 

was the assembly

and what the multitude 
of the workers of ini- 
quity. But what was 
that iniquity? It was, 
that they intended to 
kill our Lord Jesus 
Chris. I have shown, 
saith he, so many good 
works to you; for which

of these will you kill 
me? He bore with all 
their weaknesses, he 
healed all their sick, he 
preached the kingdom 
of heaven, he concealed 
not their crimes, that 
they might rather hate 
them than the physician 
who healed them. Yet 
such was their ingrati- 
tude for all these cures, 
that, like men raving in 
a high fever, they raged 
against the physician 
who came to cure them, 
and formed a design of 
destroying him; as if 
they had a mind to try 
whether he was a real 
man that could die, or 
something above men, 
and would not die. We 
find their words in the 
Wisdom of Solomon. 
Let us condemn him, 
say they, to a most 
shameful death. Let 
us examine him: for re- 
gard will be had to his 
words, If he be truly 
the Son of God, let him 
deliver him,

HEY have whetted 

their tongues like 
a sword. Let not the 
Jews say: We did not 
kill Christ, under pre- 
tence that therefore 
they delivered him up 
to Pilate, the judge, that 
they might seem inno- 
cent of his death; and 
that when Pilate had 
said to them: Put him 
to death yourselves, 
they answered : It is not 
lawful for us to put any 
man to death. Thus

they pretended to throw 
the injustice of their 
crime upon the judge 
who was a man; but 
could they deceive a 
Judge who is God? 
What Pilate did made 
him partaker of theit 
crime; but in compari- 
son of them he was 
much more innocent. 
For he did what he 
could to rescue him from 
their hands; and for 
that reason ordered him 
to be scourged and 
shown to them. This 
he did to our Lord, not 
by way of persecution, 
but to satisfy their rage ; 
that the sight of him in 
that condition might 
move them to pity, and 
make them desist from 
desiring his death. All 
this he did. But when 
they still persisted, you 
know that he washed 
his hands, and said 
that he was innocent of 
his death. And yet he 
put him to death. But 
if he was guilty for do,

are they innocent who 
forced him to it? Not 
at all. He pronounced 
sentence upon him, and

be said to kill him; but 
you also, O Jews! have 
killed him. How have 
you killed him? With 
the sword of your 
tongues: for you whet- 
ted your tongues. And

stroke, but when you

thou art my protector: 
my God, his mercy shall 
prevent me. 

God shall let me see 
over my enemies: slay 
them not, lest at any 
time my people forget.

Good Friday. 


Scatter them by thy 
power; and bring them 
down, O Lord, my pro- 
tector! 

For the sin of their 
mouth, and the word of 
theirlips: and let them 
be taken in their pride. 

And for their cursing 
and lying they shall be 
talked of, when they are 
consumed: when they 
are consumed by thy 
wrath, and they shall 
be no more. 

And they shall know 
that God will rule Ja- 
cob, and all the ends of 
the earth. 

They shall return at 
evening, and shall suffer 
hunger like dogs: and 
shall go round about the 
city. 

They shall be scatter- 
ed abroad to eat, and 
shall murmur if they be 
not filled. 

But I will sing thy 
strength ; and will extol 
thy mercy in the morn- 
ing. 

For thou art become

I am counted among

Like the slain sleep-

whom thou remember-

are cast off from thy 
hand. 

They have laid me in 
the lower pit; in the 
dark places, and in the 
shadow of death. 

Thy wrath is strong 
over me; and all thy 
waves thou hast brought 
in upon me. 

Thou has put away 
my acquaintance far 
from me; they have set 
me an abomination to 
themselves. 

I was delivered up, 
and came not forth: my 
eyes languished through 
poverty. 

All the day I cried to 
thee, O Lord ! I stretch- 
edout my hands to thee.

But I, O Lord! have 
cried to thee : and in the

Lord! why castest 
thou off my prayer? 
why turnest thou away 
thy face from me? 

I am poor, and in la- 
bors from my youth; 
and being exalted, have 
been humbled and 
troubled. 

Thy wrath hath come 
upon me: and thy ter-

They have come round

319 


Thy people, O Lord ! 
they have brought low ; 
and they have afflicted 
thy inheritance. 

They have slain the 
widow and the stranger : 
and they have murdered 
the fatherless, 

And they have said: 
The Lord shall not see: 
neither shall the God of 
Jacob understand. 

Understand, ye sense- 
less among the people! 
and, you fools! be wise 
at last. 

He that planted the 
ear, shall he not hear? 
or he that formed the 
eye, doth he not con 
sider? 

He that chastiseth na- 
tions, shall he not re- 
buke: he that teacheth 
man knowledge ? 

The Lord knoweth the 
thoughts of men, that 
they are vain. 

Blessed is the man 
whom thou shalt in-

shalt teach him out of 
thy law

Good Friday. 


That thou mayest give

ther will he forsake his

Until justice be turn-

Who shall rise up for 
me against the evil 
doers? or who shall 
stand with me against 
the workers of iniquity? 

Unless the Lord had 
been my helper, my 
soul had almost dwelt 
in hell.

THE SEVENTH LESSON. 


De Epistola beati Pauli 
Apostoli ad Hebrzos, 
cap. iv. et v. 


ESTINEMUS in- 

gredi in illam re- 
quiem, ut ne in idipsum 
quis incidat incredulita-

From the Epistle of St 
Paul the Apostle to the 
Hebrews, chaps. iv 
and v. 

ET us hasten there- 

fore to enter into 

that rest: lest any man 
fall into the same exam- 
ple of unbelief. For the 
word of God is living 
and effectual, and more 
piercing than any two- 
edged sword: and 

reaching unto the divi- 

sion of the soul and spi- 

rit, of the joints also, 
and the marrow, and is 

a  discerner of the 

thoughts and intentions 

of the heart. Neither 
is there any creature 
invisible in his sight; 
but all things are naked 
and open to the eyes of 
him, to whom our speech 
is. Seeing then that 
we have a great high- 
priest that hath passed 
into the heavens, Jesus 
the Son of God : let us 
hold fast our confession. 
For we haye not a high-

priest, who cannot have 
compassion on our in- 
firmities: but one tempt- 
ed in all things like 
as we are, yet without 
sin. 

&. They delivered me 
into the hands of the 
impious, and cast me 
out amongst the wicked, 
and spared not my life: 
the powerful gathered 
together against me: * 
and like giants they 
stood against me. 

V. Strangers have ri- 
sen up against me, and 
the mighty have sought 
after my soul. * And 
like giants. 


THE EIGHTH LESSON. 


DEAMUS ergo 
cum fiducia ad 
thronum gratie, ut mise- 
ricordiam consequamur, 
et gratiam inveniamus 
in auxilio opportuno. 
Omnis namque pontifex

tus, pro hominibus con- 
stituitur in iis que sunt 
ad Deum, ut offerat do- 


ET us go therefore 
with confidence 

to the throne of grace; 
that we may obtain mer- 
cy, and find grace in sea- 
sonable aid. For every 
high-priest taken from 
among men is appoint- 
ed for men in the things 
that appertain to God, 
that he may offer up 


324 


na et sacrificia pro pec- 
catis : qui condolere pos- 
sit iis, qui ignorant et 
errant, quoniam et ipse 
circumdatus est infir- 
mitate. Et propterea de- 
bet, quemadmodum pro 
populo, ita etiam et pro 
semetipso offerre pro 
peccatis. 


R. Jesum tradidit im-

bus sacerdotum, et se- 
nioribus populi: * Pe- 
trus autem sequebatur

cipem sacerdotum, ubi 
Scribe et Phariszi con- 
venerant. * Petrus au- 
tem, etc. 


Good Friday. 


gifts and sacrifices for 
sins ; who can have com- 
passion on them that 
are ignorant, and that 
err: because he himself 
also is encompassed 
with infirmity: and 
therefore he ought, as 
for the people, so also 
for himself, to offer for 
sins. 

AK. The wicked man 
betrayed Jesus to the 
chief priests and an- 
cients of the people: * 
but Peter followed him 
afar off, to see the end. 


V. And they led him 
to Caiphas the high- 
priest, where the Scribes 
and Pharisees were met 
together. * But Peter. 


THE NINTH LESSON.

Deo, tamquam Aaron. 
Sic et Christus non se- 
metipsum clarificavit ut 
Pontifex fieret, sed qui 


EITHER  doth 

any man take 

the honor to himself, 
but he that is called by 
God, as Aaron was. So 
also Christ did not 
glorify himself to be

lius meus es tu, ego ho- 
die genui te. Quemad-

dinem — Melchisedech. 
Qui in diebus carnis sue

he that said to him: 
Thou art my Son, this 
day have I begotten 
thee. As he saith also 
in another place: Thou 
art a priest for ever, ac- 
cording to the order of 
Melchisedech. Who in 
the days of his flesh, 
offering up prayers and 
supplications, with a 
strong cry and tears, to 
him that was able to save 
him from death, was 
heard for his reverence. 
And whereas indeed he 
was the Son of God, he 
learned obedience by the 
things which he suffer- 
ed: and being consum- 
mated, he became the 
cause of eternal salva- 
tion to all that obey 
him. Called by God 
a high-priest according 
to the order of Mel- 
chisedech. 

&. My eyes are dark- 
ened by my tears; for 
he is far from me that 
comforted me. See, all 
people! * if there be

thy truth; hear me in 
thy justice. 


And enter not into

no man living shall be

For the enemy hath 
persecuted my soul: he 
hath brought down my 
life to the earth, 

He hath made me to 
dwell in darkness, as 
those that have been 
dead of old: and my 
spirit is in anguish with-

Hear me speedily, O

fainted away. 

Turn not away thy 
face from me; lest I be 
like unto them that go 
down into the lake. 

Cause me to hear thy 
mercy in the morning; 
for in thee have I hoped. 


Make the way known 
to me wherein I should 
walk: for I have lifted 
up my soul to thee. 

Deliver me from my 
enemies, O Lord! to 
thee have I fled: teach 
me to do thy will, for 
thou art my God. 

Thy good spirit shall 
lead me into the right 
land: for thy name's 
sake, O Lord! thou wilt 
quicken me in thy jus- 
tice. 

Thou wil bring my 
soul out of trouble : and 
in thy mercy thou will 
destroy my enemies.

GOOD FRIDAY. 


MORNING OFFICE. 


‘Tue Church commemorates every day the bloody sacrifice of Jesus 
Christ on the cross by a true and real unbloody sacrifice, in which she 
offers to God the same body and blood that were given for the sins of the 
world, But on Good Friday she offers no sacrifice, nor is there any con- 
secration of the Holy Eucharist ; the Priest receiving the sacred Host 
which he had consecrated the day before. So that, in the office which 
is performed, instead of the Mass, she contents herself with a bare repre= 
sentation of the passion, and makes it her chief business to expose to the 
faithful Jesus Christ crucified for them. For this end she reads such 
Lessons and ‘Tracts as contain predictions of his coming for their redemp- 
tion, and types of his immolation on the cross, and then she reads the 
history of the passion, as related by St. John, to show how the Law and 
the prophets were verified by the Gospel. 

The faithful by these Lessons are instructed in the mystery of this day, 
and therefore beg with the Priest the fruit and application of this pass 
sion, by praying for all sorts of persons, even Schismatics, Heretics, 
Fews, and Pagans, None are excluded from the suffrages of the Church 
on a day when Jesus Christ prayed for his persecutors, and offered his 
blood to his Father for the salvation of those who shed it. 

Next, both Priest and people adore Jesus Christ crucified, expressing 
their adoration by kneeling thrice before they kiss the cross. The veno= 
ration of the cross is as ancient as Christianity itself, If at thebare name 
of Jesus every knee should bend, what feelings should arise in a Chris 
tian breast at the sight of the sacred sign of redemption? It is not to 
the frail materials of the cross that we pay our adoration, but to Him whe 
oni offered for our sins the sacrifice of propitiation, 

After the ceremony, the Priest brings back to the altar the body of our 
Lord with the same solemnity as it was carried from thence on Thurs 
day, and finishes the office by receiving the sacred Victim that was slain 
this day for the redemption of mankind. 


The Mass. 


The Priest and his Ministers, in black vestments, go to the altar 
without lights and incense, and prostrate themselves before it, 
while the Acolytes cover it with one linencloth, Then tha Priest, 
with his Minister, goes up to the altar, and a reader reads the 


Sollowing lesson 2

And it shall be a lamb

you shall keep it until

They answered him: 
Jesus of Nazareth. Je-

betrayed him, stood 
with him. As soon then 
as he had said to them : 
I am he; they went 
backward, and fell to 
the ground. Again, 
therefore, he asked 
them: Whom seek ye? 
And they said: Jesus of

Peter having a sword,

And the name of the ser-

Jesus said to Peter : Put 
up thy sword into the 
scabbard. The cup 
which my Father hath 
given me, shall not I 
drink it? Then the 
band, and the tribune, 
and the servants of the 
Jews took Jesus, and 
bound him: and they 
led him away to Annas 
first, for he was father- 
in-law to Caiphas, who 
was the high-priest of 
that year. Now Caiphas 
was he who nad given

that it was expedient 
that one man should die 
for the people. AndSi-

But Peter stood at the 
door without. Then the 
other disciple who was 
known to the high-priest, 
went out, and spoke to 
her that kept the door, 
and brought in Peter. 
And the maid that wait- 
ed at the door, saith to 
Peter: Art not thou also 
one of this man's dis- 
ciples? He saith: I am 
not. Now the servants 
and officers stood at a 
fireof coals; because it 
was cold, and warmed 
themselves. And with 
them was Peter also 
standing, and warming 
himself. 

The high-priest then 
asked Jesus of his disci- 
ples, and of his doctrine. 
Jesus answered him: I 
have spoken openly to 
the world: I have al- 
ways taught in the syna- 
gogue, and in the tem- 
ple, whither all the Jews 
resort: and in secret I 
have spoken nothing. 
Why askest thou me?

answered and said to 
him: If he were not a 
malefactor, we would not 
have delivered him up

therefore said to him : It 
is not lawful for us to 
put any man to death,

answered: My kingdom

If my kingdom were

strive that I should not

but now my kingdom is 
not from hence. Pilate 
therefore said to him:

Jesus answered: Thou 
sayest that I am a king. 
For this was I born, and 
for this came I into the 
world, that I should 
give testimony to the 
truth. Every one that 
is of the truth, heareth

this, he went out again

Now Barabbas was a

The Jews answered

cried out, saying: If 
thou release this man,

maketh himself a king,

Now when Pilate had 
heard these words, he

judgment-seat, in the 
place that is called the 
Pavement, and in He-

to the Jews: Behold

forth to that place which 
is called Calvary, but

him, and with him two

and Jesus in the midst. 
And Pilate wrote a title 
also, and he put it upon 
the cross, And the writ- 
ing was, Jesus of Naza- 
reth, the King of the 
Jews. The title, there- 
fore, many of the Jews 
did read, because the 
place where Jesus was 
crucified was nigh to the 
city : and it was written 
in Hebrew, in Greek,and 
in Latin, Then the chief-

Pilate: Write not, the

he said, Lam the King of

of Jesus. And Nicode- 
mus also came, he who 
at the first came to Je-

mixture of myrrh and 
aloes, about a hundred 
pound weight. They 
took therefore the body 
of Jesus, and wrapt it in 
linen clothes with the 
spices, as the manner 
of the Jews is to bury. 
Now there was a garden 
in the place where he 
was crucified; and in 
the garden a new sepul- 
chre, wherein no man 
yet had been laid. 
Therefore, because of 
the parasceve of thc 
Jews, they laid Jesus 
there ; for the sepulchre 
was nigh at hand.

After the prayers, the Priest puts off his vestment, and taking from

Sing, O my tongue! devoutly sing 

The glorious laurels of our King ; 

Sing the triumphant victory 

Gained on a cross erected high ; 

Where man’s Redeemer yields his breath, 
And, dying, conquers hell and death. 


With pity our Creator saw 

His noble work transgress his law ; 

When our first parents rashly eat 

"The fatal tree's forbidden meat ; 

Me then resolved the cross’ wood 

Should make that wood's sad damage good. 


By this wise. method God designed 
From sin and death to save mankind; 
Superior art with love combines, 

And arts of Satan countermines ; 

And where the traitor gave the wound, 
There healing remedies are found. 


Mass. 373 


When the full time decreed above 
Was come to show this work of love, 
Th’ eternal Father sends his Son, 
The world’s Creator, from the throne; 
Who on our earth, this vale of tears, 
Cloth'd with a virgin's flesh appears. 


Thus God made man an infant lies, 
And in the manger weeping cries; 
His sacred limbs, by Mary bound, 
The poorest tattered rags surround ; 
And God incarnate’s feet and hands 
Are closely tied with swathing bands. 


Full thirty, years were freely spent 
Tn this our mortal banishment ; 
And then the Son of Man decreed 
For the lost sons of men to bleed ; 
And on the cross a victim laid, 
The solemn expiation made. 


Gall was his drink ; his flesh they tear 
With thorns and nails; a cruel spear 
Pierces his sides; from whence a flood 
Streams forth of water mixed with bloud= 
"With what a tide are washed again 

"The sinful earth, the stars and main! 


Bend, tow'ring tree! thy branches bead, 
Thy native stubbornness suspend 5 

Let not stiff nature use its force, 

To weaker sap have now recourse; 
With softest arms receive thy load, 

And gently bear our dying God. 


374 Good Friday. 


On thee alone the Lamb was slain 

That reconcil'd the world again ; 

And when on raging seas was tost 

The shipwreck’d world and mankind iost, 
Besprinkled with his sacred gore, 

Thou safely brought'st them to the shore. 


All glory to the sacred Three, 

One undivided Deity ; 

To Father, Holy Ghost, and Son, 

Be equal praise and homage done; 

Let the whole universe proclaim 

Of one and three the glorious name. Amen. 

When the adoration of the cross is almost finished, the candles upon 

the altar are lighted ; and after the adoration, the cross is 
Placed again upon the altar, Then the Priest with his Minis- 
ters and Clergy goes in procession to the place where the B. Sa- 
crament was put the day Before ; from whence ke brings Mbach 
in the same order as Iwas carried thither, During theprocem 
sion is sung the hymn Vexilla regis prodeunt, as at 2. 107. 


The Priest, having come back to the altar, places the holy Sacrament 
on it, fumes I with incense, on his knees, and lays the sacred 
Host on the corporal, Then wine and water are put into the 
chalice, which is set on the altar, and the incense is put into the 
conser ; with which the Priest fumes the sacred Host and the 
afferingof wine and water, saying:

RESERVE me, O 

Lord! for I have

have said to the Lord: 

Thou art my God, for 

thou hast no need of my 
goods. 

To the saints, who 
are in his land, he hath 
made wonderful all my 
desires in them. 

Their infirmities were. 
multiplied: afterwards 
they made haste. 

I will not gather to- 
gether their meetings for 
blood-offerings : nor will 
I be mindful of their 
names by my lips. 

The Lord is the por- 
tion of my inheritance 
and of my cup; it is 
thou that wilt restore 
mine inheritance to me. 

The lines are fallen 
unto me in goodly 
places; for my inheri-

I will bless the Lord.

That I may see the 
delight of the Lord, and

Forhe hath hidden me 
in his tabernacle : in the 
day of evils, he hath pro- 
tected me in the secret 
place of his tabernacle. 

He hath exalted me 
upon a rock: and now 
he hath lifted up my 
head above my enemies. 

I have gone round, 
and have offered up in 
his tabernacle a sacrifice 
of jubilation : I will sing, 
and recite a psalm to the 
Lord. 

Hear, O Lord! my 
voice, with which I have 
cried to thee; have mer-

My heart hath said

sought thee: thy face, 
O Lord! will I seek. 

Turn not away thy

For my father and 
my mother have left me; 
but the Lord hath taken 
me up. 

Set me, O Lord! a 
law in thy way: and 
guide me in the right 
path, because of my 
enemies. 

Deliver me not over 
to the will of them that 
trouble me; for unjust 
witnesses have risen up 
against me, and iniquity 
hath lied to itself. 

I believe to see the 
good things of the Lord

O Lord, my God! I

thou hast healed me. 

Thou hast brought

saved me from them that 
go down into the pit. 

Sing to the Lord, O ye 
his saints! and give 
praise to the memory 
of his holiness. 

For wrath is in his in- 
dignation; and life in 
his good-will. 

In the evening weep-

The Lord hath heard,

God shall be exalted. 

They said: Who shall 

see us? They failed in 

making diligent search 
for wicked designs. Man 
came to those desizes 
and suffered himself to 
be seized on as a man. 
For he could not be 
seized on, if he were not 
man, or seen, if he were 
not man, or scourged, 
if he were not man, or 
crucified, or die, if he 
were not man. Man, 
therefore, came to all 
these sufferings, which 
could have no effect on 
him, if he were not man

But if he had not been 
man, man could not 
have been redeemed. 
Man came to a deep 
heart, that is, a secret 
heart, exposing his hu- 
manity to human view, 
but hiding his divinity; 
concealing the form of 
God, by which he is 
equal to the Father; and 
offering the form of the 
servant, by which he is 
inferior to the Father. 
JR. Our shepherd, the 
fountain of living water,

when our Lord was dead 
and buried, they placed 
guards at the sepulchre ? 
For they said to Pilate : 
This seducer ; by which 
name our Lord Jesus 
Christ was called, for 
the comfort of his ser- 
vants, when they are 
called seducers. This 
seducer, say they to Pi- 
late, whilst he was yet 
alive, said: After three 
days, I will rise again. 
Command, therefore, 
the sepulchre to be 
guarded until the third 
day; lest his disciples 
come and steal him 
away, and say to the 
people : He is risen from 
the dead: so the last er- 
ror shall be worse than 
the first. Pilate said to 
them : You havea guard, 
go, and guard it as you 
know. And they de- 
parting, made the se- 
pulchre — sure — with 
guards, sealing up the 
stone.

earth shook, and the 


Lord rose again: such 
miracles were done at 
the sepulchre, that the 
very soldiers who came 
as guards, might be 
witnesses of it, if they 
would declare the truth. 
But that covetousness, 
which possessed the dis- 
ciple, who was the com- 
panion of Christ, blinded 
also the soldiers who 
were the guards of his 
sepulchre. — We will

is it thou hast said, O 
wretched craft? Dost 
thou shut thy eyes

thyself sleepest who 
failest in making search

From the Epistle of St. 
Paul the Apostle to 
the Hebrews, chap. ix. 

UT Christ being 

come a high-priest 
of the good things to 
come, by a greater and 
more perfect tabernacle 
not made with hands, 
that is, not of this crea- 
tion; neither by the 
blood of goats, or of 
calves, but by his owa 
blood, entered once into 
the Holies, having ob- 
tained eternal redemp- 
tion. For if the blood 
of goats and of oxen, 
and the ashes of a heifer 
being sprinkled, sanctify 
such as are defiled, to 
the cleansing of-the flesh: 
how much more shall 
the blood of Christ, who, 
through the Holy Ghost, 
offered himself without 
spot to God, cleanse our 

Consciences from dead

AY therefore he is 
the mediator of the

means of his death, for 
the redemption of those 
transgressions, — which 
were under the former 
testament, they that are 
called may receive the 
promise of eternal in- 
heritance. For where 
there is a testament, the 
death of the testator 
must of necessity come 
in. For a testament is 
of force, after men are 
dead: otherwise it is 
as yet of no strength,

HOLY SATURDAY. 


Tun Tenebree or Matins, with the other Canonical hours for this day, 
are consecrated to the memory of our Lord in his sepulchre ; at Mass, he 
is represented to the faithful as coming out of the grave, and triumphing 
over death by his resurrection. ‘The word Nigit, used in the benedic- 
tion of the Paschal Candle, in the Collect of the Mass, in the Preface and 
Communicantes, shows that the Office and Mass, now said in the mid- 
die of the day, were formerly said in the following night, to honor the 
time of our Saviour's resurrection, which happened in this night. 

The altars, deprived of their ornaments on Maundy- Thursday, are 
again clothed with them, and a new Fire is blessed, to illuminate them. 
‘The Office begins with lighting a triple Candle, which is emblematic of 
the dight of Christ, and signifies that the faith of the blessed Trinity 
proceeds from the light communicated to us by Christ risen from the 
dead. The Paschal Candle, blessed in the next place by the Deacon, 
isa figure of the body of Jesus Christ, and, not being lighted at first, re- 
presents him dead ; and the five blessed Grains of incense fixed in it 
denote the aromatic spices that embalmed him in the sepulchre. The 
lighting of the Pascha? Candle is a representation of his rising again to 
anew life ; and the lighting of the lamps, and other candles afterwards, 
teaches the faithful that the resurrection of the Head will be followed 
bby that of the members. 

‘After this ceremony, the Church disposes the Catechumens for a 
worthy receiving of baptism ; for which purpose she reads twelve Les- 
sons out of the Old Testament, called Prophecies, and after each says a . 
solemn Prayer; by both of which she not only instructs them in the ef- 
fects and fruit of that sacrament, but begs for them, of Almighty God, 
all the advantages of it. The Church could not have appointed a more 
suitable time for the solemn administration of baptism, which is a lively 
representation of our Lord's resurrection. As he was laid in the sepul- 
chre truly dead, and came out again truly alive, so the sinner is buried 
n the baptismal water, as in a mystical grave, and is taken out again 
animated with a new life of grace. For we are buried together with 
him by baptism unto death ; that as Christ is risen from the dead 
by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life 
Rom. vie 4) 

Before the administration of the sacrament, the Baptismal Font is 
Dlessed with ceremonies that are full of mysteries. x. The Priest divides 
the water in the form of a cross, to teach us that it confers grace and 
sanctity by the merits of Christ crucified. 2, He touches the water

with his hand, praying that it may be free from all impressions of evil 
spirits. 3. He signs it thrice with the sign of the cross, to bless it in the 
name of the Holy Trinity. 4. He separates it with his hand, and caste 
‘out soine of it towards the four parts of the world, to instruct us that the 
grace of baptism, like the rivers of paradise, flows all over the earth. s. 
He breathes thrice upon it in the form of a cross, desiring God to bless it 
with the infusion of his holy Spirit, that it may perceive the virtue of 
sanctifying the soul. 6. He plunges the Paschal Candle thrice into it, 
praying that the Holy Ghost may descend upon it, as he did at the bap- 
ism of Christ in the waters of Jordan, 7. He mixes holy Oil and 
Chrism with it, to signify that baptism consecrates us to God, and gives 
spiritual strength to wrestle with and overcome all the enemies of our 
soul. 

After the benediction of the font, the sacrament of baptism is solemnly 
administered to such as are prepared for it; and then the Litany and 
‘Mass are sung. to obtain of God that the new baptized may persevere in 
the grace they have received. Incense is used at the Gospel, to repre 
sent the perfumes carried by the women to our Saviour's monument ; 
but no lights are carried, as at other times, because they and the Apos- 
tles did not yet believe his resurrection ; for which reason he Creed is 
also not said. The Offertory, the kiss of peace, and the Antiphon, 
called the Communion, are omitted, because the faithful did not re- 
ceive the blessed Eucharist at this Mass, but waited till Easter-day. 


The Blessing of the New Fire. 


ME a convenient hour, the altars are dressed ; but the candles are 
not lighted till the beginning of the Mass. Then, without the 
church, fire is struck from a flint, and coals are lighted with 
it : after which the Priest (attended by the Ministers with the 
cross, holy water, and incense, before the church gate, if it can 
be conveniently done, otherwise in the very entrance of the 
church, blesses the new fire, saying.

Whilst he blesses the grains of incense, an Acolyte puts some of the 
Blessed fire into the censer, and the Priest, after the prayer, 
puts incense into it, blessing it as usual, saying +

holy-water sayin

Egypt, leading them 
dry-foot through the Red 
Sea. This then is the 
night which dissipated 
the darkness of sin, by

This is the night which 
now delivers all over the 
world those that believe 
in Christ from the vices 
of the world and dark-

them to grace, and 
clothes with sanctity. 
This is the night in 
which Christ broke the 
chains of death, and as-

is thy goodness towards 
us! O how inestimable 
is thy love! Thou hast 
delivered up thy Son to

which the death of 
Christ has blotted out!

the time and hour when 
Christ rose again from 
hell This is the night 
of which it is written:

they chose. And God 
said : My spirit shall not 
remain in man for ever, 
because he is flesh, and 
his days shall be a hun-

Now giants were upon

God seeing that the 
wickedness of men war 
great on the earth, aná 
that all the thought of 
their heart was bent 
upon evil at all times, it 
repented him that he 
had made man on the 
earth, And — being 
touched inwardly with 
sorrow of heart, he said : 
I will destroy man, 
whom I have created, 
from the face of the 
earth, from man even to 
beasts, from creeping 
things even to the fowls 
of the air, for it repent- 
eth me that I have made 
them. But Noe found 
grace before the Lord. 
These are the genera- 
tions of Noe: Noe was 
a just and perfect man 
in his generations, he 
walked with God. And 
he begat three sons, 
Sem, Cham, and Ja- 
pheth. And the earth 
was corrupted before 
God, and was filled with 
iniquity

And when God had 
seen that the earth was 
corrupted (for all flesh 
had corrupted its way 
upon the earth), he said 
to Noe: The end of all 
flesh is come before me, 
the earth is filled with 
iniquity through them, 
and I will destroy them 
with the earth. Make 
thee an ark of timber 
planks: thou shalt make 
little rooms in the ark, 
and thou shalt pitch it 
within and without. 
And thus shalt thou 
make it: The length of 
the ark shall be three 
hundred cubits: the 
breadth of it fifty cubits, 
and the height of it 
thirty cubits. Thou 
shalt make a window 
in the ark, and in a 
cubit shalt thou finish 
the top of it; and the 
door of the ark thou 
shalt set in the side: 
with lower middle cham-

And Noe didall things 
which God commanded 
him. And he was six 
hundred years old, when 
the waters of the flood 
overflowed the earth. 
All the fountains of the 
great deep were broken 
up, and the flood-gates 
of heaven were opened: 
and the rain fell upon 
the earth forty days and 


forty nights. In the 
self same day Noe, and 
Sem, and Cham, and 


Japheth, his sons, his

Ninive according to the

Ninive was a great city 
of three days’ journey. 
And Jonas began to 
enter into the city one 
day’s journey: and he 
cried and said: Yet

will be destroyed. And 
the men of Ninive be-

put on sackcloth from

And the word came to 
the king of Ninive: and 
he rose up out of his 
throne, and cast away 
his robe from him, and 
was clothed with sack-

And he caused it to be

and he commanded 
that the furnace should 
be heated seven times 
more than it had been 
accustomed to be heat-

ed the strongest men 
that were in his army, 
to bind the feet of 
Sidrach, Misach, and 
Abdenago, and to cast 
them into the furnace 
of burning fire. And 
immediately these men

HO, by a secret

The Lesson from the 
Epistle of St. Paul the 
Apostle to the Colos-

RETHREN, if you 

be risen with Christ, 
seek the things that are 
above, where Christ is 
sitting at the right hand 
of God: mind the things 
that are above, not the 
things that are on the 
earth. For you are dead, 
and your life is hidden 
with Christ in God, 

When Christ shall ap. 

pear, who is your life, 

then shall you appeat 
with him in glory. 








After the Epistle, the Priest sings thrice Alleluia, which is thrice 
repeated by the choir; after the third, he sings the following 


verse:

A continuation of the 
holy Gospel accord- 
ing to St. Mark, chap. 
xvi. 1-7. 

T that time, Mary 
Magdalene and 

Mary the mother of 

James and Salome 

brought sweet spices, 

that coming they might 
anoint Jesus. And very 
early in the morning, the 
fist day of the week, 
they come to the sepul- 
chre, the sun being now 
risen. And they said 
one to another: Who 
shall roll back the stone 
from the door of the se- 
pulchre? And looking, 
they saw the stone rolled 
back. For it was very 
great. And entering

into the sepulchre, they 
saw a young man sitting 
on the right side, clothed 
with a white robe; and 
they were astonished. 
And he saith to them: 
Be not affrighted ; you 
seek Jesus of Nazareth, 
who was crucified; he 
is risen, he is not here. 
Behold the place where 
they laid him. But go 
tell his disciples and 
Peter, that he goeth be-

there you shall see him, 
as he told you.

with power, who went 
about doing good, and

was appointed by God

GOSPEL. 


A continuation of the 
holy Gospel accord- 
ing to St. Luke, chap. 
xxiv. 13-35. 

T that time, two of 
the disciples of 

Jesus went, that same 

day, to a town, sixty 

furlongs from Jerusalem, 
named Emmaus. And 
they talked together of 
all these things, which 
had happened. And it 
came to pass, that while 
they talked, and rea- 
soned with one another, 

Jesus himself also drew 

near, and went with 

them. But their eyes 
were held that they 
should not know him. 

And he said to them: 

What are these dis- 

courses, that you hold 


524 


tristes? Et respondens 
unus, cui nomen Cleo- 
phas, dixit ei: Tu solus 
peregrinus es in Jerusa-

dixit: Que? Et dixe- 
runt: De Jesu Nazare- 
no, qui fuit vir propheta, 
potens in opere et ser- 
mone, coram Deo et 
omni populo: et quo- 
modo eum tradiderunt 
summi sacerdotes, et 
principes nostri in dam-

you walk, and are sad? 
And the one of them, 
whose name was Cleo- 
phas, answering, said to 
him: Art thou only a 
stranger in Jerusalem, 
and hast not known the 
things that have been 


done there in these 
days? And he said to 
them: What things? 


And they said: Con- 
cerning Jesus of Naza- 
reth, who was a prophet, 
mighty in work and word, 
before God, and all the 
people. And how our 
chief priests and rulers 
delivered him to be con- 
demned to death, and 
crucified him, But we 
hoped that it was he that 
should have redeemed 
Israel; and now besides 
all this, to-day is the 
third day since these 
things were done. Yea, 
and certain women also 
of our company affright-

some of our people went 
to the sepulchre: and 
found it so as the women 
had said, but him they 
found not. Then he 
said to them: O foolish, 
and slow of heart to be- 
lieve in all the things 
which the prophets have 
spoken! Did it not be- 
hoove Christ to suffer 
these things, and so to 
enter his glory? And 
beginning at Moses, and 
all the prophets, he ex- 
pounded to them im all 
the Scriptures the things 
that were concerning 
him. And they drew 
nigh to the town whither 
they were going: and he 
made as though he would 
go farther. But they 
constrained him, saying: 
Stay with us, because it 
is towards evening, and 
the day is now far spent. 
And he went in with 
them. And it came te

And their eyes were

out of their sight. And 
they said one to the 
other: Was not our 
hearts burning within 
us, whilst he was speak- 
ing in the way, and 
opened to us the Scrip- 
tures? And they rose 
up the same hour, and 
went back to Jerusalem; 
they found the ele.

and those that were 
with them, saying: The 
Lord is risen indeed, 
and hath appeared to

what things were done 
in the way; and how 
they knew him in the

whosoever among you

the rulers thereof, not 
knowing him, nor the 
voice of the prophets, 
which are read every 
Sabbath, judging him

finding no cause of death

kill him. And when 
they had fulfilled all 
things that were written

God raised him up from

Galilee to Jerusalem, 
who are to this present 
time his witnesses to the 
people. And we declare

A continuation of the 
holy Gospel accord- 
ing to St. Luke, chap. 
xxiv. 36-47. 

T that time, Jesus 
stood in the midst 
of his disciples, and saith 
to them: Peace be to 
you; it is I, fear not. 
But they being troubled 
and affrighted, supposed 
they saw a spirit. And 
he said to them: Why 
are you troubled, and 
why do’ thoughts arise 
in your hearts? See my 
hands and my feet, that 
it is I myself: handle 
me, and see; for a spirit 
hath not flesh and bones, 
as you see me to have. 

And when he had said 

this, he showed them his 

hands and his feet. But 
while they yet believed 
not and wondered for

And they offered him «

And he said to them: 
These are the words,

while I was yet with 
you, that all things must 
needs be fulfilled, which 
are written in the law of 
Moses, and in the pro-

concerning me. Then 
he opened their under- 
standing, that they might 
understand the Scrip-

them: Thus it is writ-

Christ to suffer, and to 
rise again from the dead 
the third day: and that 
penance, and remission 
of sins, should be preach- 
ed in his name among

THE PLAINT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN. 


Stabat Mater dolorosa 
Juxta crucem lacrymosa, 
Dum pendebat Filius. 
Cujus animam gementem, 
Contristatam, et dolentem, 
Pertransivit gladius. 


O quam tristis et afflicta 
Fuit illa benedicta 
Mater Unigeniti ! 
Quae meerebat, et dolebat, 
Pia Mater dum videbat 
Nati poenas inclyti. 


Quis est homo qui non fleret, 
Christi matrem si videret 
In tanto supplicio ? 


536 


The Plaint of the Blessed Virgin, 


Quis posset non contristari, 
Piam Matrem contemplari 
Dolentem cum Filio ? 


Pro peccatis suz gentis, 
Vidit Jesum in tormentis, 
Et flagellis subditum. 
Vidit suum dulcem Natum, 
Morientem, desolatum, 
Dum emisit spiritum. 


Eia, Mater, fons amoris, 
Me sentire vim doloris 
Fac, ut tecum lugeam. 
Fac ut ardeat cor meum 
In amando Christum Deum, 
Ut sibi complaceam. 


Sancta Mater, istud agas, 

Crucifixi fige plagas 
Cordi meo valide. 

Tui Nati vulnerati, 

Tam dignati pro me pati, 
Poenas mecum divide. 


Fac me tecum pie flere, 
Crucifixo condolere, 
Donec ego vixero. 
Juxta crucem tecum stare, 
Et me tibi sociare, 
In planctu desidero. 


Virgo virginum preclara, 
Mihi jam non sis amara : 
Fac me tecum plangere. 


The Plaint of the Blessed Virgin. 


Fac ut portem Christi mortem, 
Passionis fac consortem, 
Et plagas recolere. 


Fac me plagis vulnerari, 
Fac me cruce inebriari, 

Et cruore filii. 
Inflammatus et accensus, 
Per te, Virgo, sim defensus 

In die judicii. 


Fac me cruce custodiri, 
Morte Christi premuniri, 
Confoveri gratia. 
Quando corpus morietur, 
Fac ut anime donetur 


Paradisi gloria. Amen. 


The same in English. 


Under the world's redeeming wood 
"The most afflicted Mother stood, 


Mingling her tears with her Son's blood, 
As that streamed down from ev'ry part; 
Of all his wounds she felt the smart— 


537 


What pierced his body, pierced her heart. 


Who can with tearless eyes look on, 
When such a Mother, such a Son, 


Wounded and gasping, does bemoan i 
O worse than Jewish heart, that could 


Unmovéd see the double flood 
Of Mary’s tears and Jesus’ blood 


538 — The Plaint of the Blessed Virgin. 


They are our sins, alas! not his, 
For which he bleeds, for which he dies, 
In this atoning sacrifice. 

When graves did open, rocks were rent; 
When nature and each element 

His torments and his griefs resent, 


Shall man, the cause of all his pain 
And all his grief—shall sinful man 
Alone insensible remain ? 

Ah! pious Mother, teach my heart 
Of sighs and tears the holy art, 
And in thy grief to bear a part. 


That sword of grief that did pass through 
"Thy very soul, oh! may it now 

One kind wound on my heart bestow. 
Great Queen of Sorrows! in thy train 
Let me a mourner's place obtain, 

With tears to cleanse all sinful stain. 


Refuge of sinners! grant that we 
May tread thy steps; and let it be 
Our sorrow not to grieve like thee. 
Oh! may the wounds of thy dear Son 
Our contrite heart possess alone, 

And all terrene affections drown ! 


And on us such impressions make 
That we of suff'ring for his sake 
May joyfully our portion take! 
Let us his proper badge put on, 
Let's glory in the cross alone 

By which he marks us for his own. 


An Easter Hymn. 539 


That when the dreadful day shall come 
For ev'ry man to hear his doom, 

On his right hand we may find room. 
Pray for us, Mary! Jesus! hear 

Our humble prayers ; secure our fear, 
When thou in judgment shalt appear. 


Now give us sorrow, give us love, 
That, so prepared, we may remove, 
When called to the blest seats above. Amen

THE OFFICE OF THE 


BLESSING OF THE HOLY OILS 
ON THURSDAY IN HOLY WEEK, 


FROM THE ROMAN PONTIFICAL, 





On this day every year takes place the blessing of the Oil of Catechu. 
ens, and of the Oil of Unction for the sick, and the Holy Chrism is 
wade, 

In the morning, due preparation having been made before by the Sa- 
'eristan, the Bishop comes into the church, where he vests for Mass with 
all his Pontifical attire, rich and of a white color. The attendants of the 
Bishop also vest, and besides them twelve Priests, seven Deacons, seven 
Subdeacons, Acolytes, and others, all in the vestures proper to their 
several orders, of a white color. Which done, a procession is formed to 
the Altar. All taking their places in the Choir, the Bishop, having 
reached the front of the Altar, says the Con/iteor, and proceeds with the 
Mass, until the words in the Canon, Per guem hac omnia, Domine, 
semper bona creas, ete 

Before the Bishop pronounces these words, having made a genuflexion 
to the Blessed Sacrament already consecrated upon the Altar, he retires 
to the Epistle side of the Altar, where he purifies his fingers over an 
‘empty chalice, and wipes them with the purifier. Then a second time 
genuflecting to the Blessed Sacrament, he descends the first step of the 
Altar, and there receiving his mitre, goes to a seat prepared for him ia 
the Presbytery, over against the Altar, and there sits, with his face 
towards the Altar, at a table previously set there, with the twelve 
Priests, and others in their respective vestments. Then the Priests and 
others standing round, the Archdeacon at the side of the Bishop sa; 
with aloud voice, ““Olewm Infirmorunt, ie., " the Oil for the Sick" 
which one of the Subdeacons, accompanied by two Acolytes, proceeds to 
bring from the Sacristy (where it has been previously got in readiness), 
and gives it into the hands of the Archdeacon, saying distinctly, “Ozewm 
Infirmorum.” 








The Archdeacon presents it ro the Bishop to be blessed, saying the 
same words, and placing it on the table. ‘The Bishop rising, with 
bis mitre, says in a low voice: 


Blessing of the Holy Oils.

The Blessing of the Gil for the Sick. 


Exorcizo te, immun- 
Gissime spiritus, omnis- 
que incursio Satane, et

talis ad corroborandum

eo possit Spiritus sanc- 
tus habitare, per nomen 
Dei, Patris Omnipoten- 
tis, et per nomen dilec- 
tissimi Filii ejus, Do-

qui venturus est judi- 
care vivos et mortuos,

KR. Amen. 


T exorcise and adjure 
thee, O unclean spirit’ 
and every assault and 
illusion of Satan, in the 
name of the Fathers, 
and of the Sons, and of 
the Holys[«Ghost; to de- 
part from this Oil, that it 
may be made an unction 
of grace to strengthen 
the Temple of the living 
God; that in it the Holy 
Ghost may dwell,through 
the name of God, the 
Father Almighty, and 
through the name of his 
most dearly beloved Son, 
our Lord Jesus Christ, 
who shall come to judge 
the quick and the dead 
and the world by fire. 

AR. Amen. 


Then putting off his mitre, he blesses the Oil, saying in the sams 
tone: 


V. Dominus  vobis- 
cum. 


A. Et cum spiritu tuo. 


Oremus. 
Emitte,  quzsumus,

from Heaven, upon this 
fatness of the olive 


which thou hast vouch- 
safed to bring forth out 
of a green tree, for the 
strengthening and re-

body: that by thy grace 
and bene»[«diction who- 
soever is anointed with 
this oil of heavenly vir- 
tue may receive protec- 
tion of soul and body, 
and deliverance from 
all pains, all infirmities, 
and all ills of soul and 


body; whereby thou 
didst anoint Priests, 
Kings, Prophets, and 
Martyrs: grant, O Lord, 





it may be thy true and 
perfect Chrism, blessed 
by thee, dwelling in our 
hearts; in the name of 
our Lord Jesus Christ. 


After this, the Oil is carried back to the Sacristy, and kept most 
carefully. Then the Bishop, resuming his mitre, sits, washes his 
hands, rises, and with his mitre goes, accompanied by his attend: 
ants, to the step of the Altar, where putting off his mitre, he genu- 
Rects, goes up to the Altar, and proceeds with the Mass, until the 
Communion, which the Bishop receives only. The Deacon then 
puts the consecrated Host to be reserved for the morrow into a 


chalice, and reverently places it in the midst of the Altar. 


Then 


the Bishop communicates the Deacon and Subdeacon and th: re 


Blessing of the Holy Oils. 545 


of the clergy ; and after receiving the ablutions, he genuflects to 
the Blessed Sacrament upon the Altar, and returning sits as be- 
fore: the attendants and others standing. 

Then the Archdeacon, standing near the Bishop, says with a loud 
voice: " Oleum ad sanctum Chrisma," ie, the Os] for the hely 
Chrism, And after, in the same tone, ke adds, " Oleum Catechu- 
menorum." 

After which, a. thurible being presented to the Bishop, he puts in- 
‘cense into it, and blesses it after the accustomed manner. Then 
the Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons go in procession to the Sa~ 
cristy to fetch with all solemnity the Oil of Chrism and the Oit 
of Catechumens, which are brought in, carried in the procession 
by two Deacons, preceded by a Subdeacon, carrying a vessel of 
balsam, and followed by the Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons 

As the procession moves from the Sacristy, two Cantors chant the 
verses following = 


Consecration of the Woly Chrism. 


O Redemptor, sume — Hear our hymn, Re- 
carmen temet concinen- deemer Lord: thee we

The Choir repeat the same, and the Cantors then say:

Cantors. Hear us, Judge

When all have reached their places in the Choir, the Deacon who 
carries the Oil of Chrism comes before the Bishop : and the Arch- 
deacon, receiving it from him, places it, covered with a white 
cloth, on the tuble before the Bishop. Then the Subdeacon, carry- 
ing the vessel with balsam, gives it to the Archdeacon, who places 


it in like manner upon the table. 


The Bishop then rises, puts off. 


his mitre, and first blesses the balsam, saying: 


V. Dominus

After which, the Bishof sits, with his mitre still on, and breathes 
thrice, in the form of a cross, over the Chrism. 

Then the twelve Priests in order bowing lowly to the Blessed Sacra 
ment on the Altar, and to the Bishop, approack the table, and each 
dn turn breathes, as the Bishop had done, over the Chrism. Then 


lowly bowing, as before, they return to their places. Which done, 
the Bishop standing, with his mitre, pronounces at once the Exor- 


cism of the Chrism, saying: 


Exorcizo te, creatura 
olei, per Deum Patrem 
omnipotentem, qui fecit 
coelum et terram, mare, 
et omnia que in eis

host of Satan, and all 
the wiles and illusions 
of the devil may be ex- 
pelled, and vanish from 
thee; that thou mayest 
be, to all who shall be 
anointed with thee, for 
their adoption as sons 
through the Holy Ghost; 
in the name of God the 
Father Almighty, and

It is very meet, right,

that we should at all

give thanks unto thee, 
Holy Father, Almighty, 
everlasting God. Who 
in the beginning among 
other blessings of thy 
bounty, didst command 
the earth to bring forth 
trees yielding fruit, and

that among these the 
olive, yielding this fat- 
ness of oil, should grow, 
whose fruit should serve 
to holy Chrism. For 
David also, foreknowing 
by prophetic spirit the 
sacraments of thy grace, 
sang of oil to máke man 
of a cheerful counte- 
nance; and when of old 
the crimes of the world 
were punished by the 
flood of waters, a dove 
declaring the image of 
the future blessing by an 
olive branch, announced 
the return of peace to 
the earth. Which has 
been shown by the ma- 
nifest effects of grace, in 
these last days, wherein 
the waters of baptism 
washing away all guilt 
of sin, this unction of oil 
maketh us of a cheerful 
and glad countenance. 
Then to'Moses also thy 
servant thou didst com- 
mand, that he should or- 
dain Aaron his brother, 
first washed with water, 
priest by affusion of this 


Blessing of the Holy Oils.

thou didst, by the testi-

prophet David had sung, 
that he should be anoint-

We therefore pray thee,

liveth and reigneth in

KR. Amen. 


The Preface being ended, the Bishop mingles the balsam and oil, 
mixed on the paten, with the holy Chrism in the vessel, saying : 


Haec commistio liquo-

perunctis propitiatio, et

A, Amen. 


Let this mixture of

AK. Amen. 


The Deacon then removes the veil which hitherto covered the veo 
sel, and the Bishop, bowing his head, salutes the Chrismysay- 
ing: 

Ave sanctum Chrisma. — Hail! Holy Chrism. 

This he does a, second and a third time, saying it louder each time ; 
and after saying it the third time, he hisses the lip of the ves- 
sel. Afterwards the twelve Priests in order make the same sal- 
ation, thrice repeating: 
Ave sanctum Chrisma. Hail! Holy Chrism. 

And having kissed the lip of the vessel, return to their places, 

Presently the Deacon approaches with the other vessel, contain- 

ing the Oil of Cateckumens, which he presents to the Archdeacon

who places it on the table before the Bishop. The Bishop and vue 
twelve Priests breathe over it,as before was done in the case of the 


vessel of Chrism 


Which done, the Bishop rises, and with his 


mitra at once pronounces in a low tone the Exorcism of the Oil of 


 Calechumens, saying :

JR. Amen. 


Then the Bishop and the tweive Priests, in order, reverently salute 
the Oil of Catechumens, saying thrice: 


Ave sanctum Oleum. 


Hail! Holy Oil. 


And when they have done this the third time, they kiss the mouth 


of the vessel, as before was directed for the Chrism. 


After 


this, the two vessels are carried by the two Deacons back to the 
Sacristy, in the same form and order as they were brought in 
Procession; the two Cantors chanting the following verses: 


Blessing of the Holy Oils. 


Ut novetur sexus om- 
nis unctione Chrismatis, 
ut sanetur sauciata dig- 
nitatis gloria. 


Chorus. O Redemptor. 

Cantores. Lota mente

That by this most sa-

And our wounded glo- 
ry rescued through the 
Spirit's plenitude. 

Choir. Hear our hymn. 

Cantors. By this foun-

may the soul be clearsed 
from sin, 

And the brows with

Cantors. Son of the 
Eternal Father, virgin- 
born, afford us light, 

Who receive this holy 
unction; save us from 
death's gloomy night. 

Choir. Hear our hymn. 

Cantors. May this day 
of festal gladness, keep 
its holy joys in store, 

Dignified with joyful 
praises, blooming now 
and evermore. 

Choir. Hear our hymn. 


Meanwhile the Bishop, sitting with his mitre, washes his hands, 
then returns to the Altar, and proceeds with the Mass as in the 


Missal,
